eARLY ONSET PARKINSON’S DISEASE (EOPD.IE)

The New Music was made with the help of committee members of Young Parkinsons Ireland (YPI). These members have now set up a separate group called EOPD.IE. This is a support group providing information, advocating, raising awareness and offering support for Early Onset Parkinson’s in Ireland.

Parkinson’s Disease is now the second fastest growing neurological condition and it is generally considered an older person’s disease. This can leave newly diagnosed Early Onset people feeling isolated. EOPD.IE aims to reach out to as many people as possible living with Early Onset Parkinson’s, offering information and support from people who understand.

The New Music partnered with young people living with Parkinson’s throughout the making of the film and all profits are devolved to support Early Onset Parkinson’s Disease Ireland.
