Grigioni Foundation for Parkinson's disease Print

Logo Fondazione GrigioniFounded in 1993 and connected right from the start to the Italian Association of Patients with Parkinson's disease AIP, the Grigioni Foundation for Parkinson's disease is a private non-profit organization, which has the objective of identifying funding sources and collecting funds for scientific research with the aim of defeating Parkinson's disease.

The considerable improvement in the quality of life of patients with Parkinson's disease that has taken place in the last few years is clearly due to the knowledge about the disease acquired by numerous research groups operating throughout the world.

New drugs, new diagnostic procedures, new scientific data in the field of molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics of Parkinson's disease have seen the light in recent years and have paved the way for further promising developments in the understanding of the causes of the disease.il manifesto della campagna "1000 Eroi"

It is well known that research is very expensive and that public investments in this field are very low: The individual patients, their families and all persons who care about this disease should therefore make a personal commitment to tangibly support scientific research that could find a definitive cure for the disease.

Supporting research means to awaken public opinion to the need for funds. The Grigioni Foundation organizes and sponsors several campaigns with this objective every year.

Proof of the commitment of the Grigioni Foundation in this field is the 1,000 hero campaign and the co-operation with the Telethon Foundation within the "DNA Bank" project.

Furthermore, the Grigioni Foundation for Parkinson's disease publishes a quarterly magazine, ParkinsoNews, directed by Dr Jennifer Susan Hartwig and Prof. Gianni Pezzoli, President of the Foundation.
