The Farah Foundation will be joining the 6th World Parkinson Congress (WPC 2023) which will be held in Barcelona, Spain ( International Barcelona Convention Center at Plaça de Willy Brandt, 11-14, Barcelona, Spain 08019) from July 4 – 7, 2023.
We encourage everyone in the community who is touched by Parkinson’s, whether a researcher, physician, family member, clinician, nurse, or rehab specialist to attend the event.
The event will bring together a growing number of people whose Parkinson’s journey go against the usual concept that this is an “old person’s disease”. This faction is called YOPD (Young Onset Parkinson’s disease) as well as Juvenile parkinsonism where on both occasion the onset of the disease starts below 50 years of age. We strongly encourage people who are affected within this age group to join this event and meet other people who share similar journeys as yours.
