Nigerian Foundations Use Sports to Raise Parkinson's Awareness
The Adewunmi Desalu Parkinson's Foundation, in partnership with Parkinson's Africa, organized a walk and football tournament to raise awareness about Parkinson's disease in Africa. The event aims to educate the public, advocate for better care, and support families affected by the condition.
Over the years, the tournament has grown in participation, with increased support from the community and corporate entities. Notable figures like Omotola Thoma, who lives with Parkinson's, have emphasized the importance of raising awareness and supporting those living with the disease.
