Parkinson’s Disease Society (Singapore)

Have just donated $50 twice to Parkinson’s Disease Society (Singapore) and this is to be funded from my Cash Portfolio.   In the earlier donation, my particulars was missed out so l have donated again with my details.

Parkinson’s Disease Society (Singapore) or PDSS, was formed in 1996 by a group of doctors and caregivers to help PD patients manage the disease better. The Society was registered as a charity on 27 December 1996 and became a member of National Council of Social Service.
Since then, the society has ran a range of number of programmes and activities. This included annual public forums, therapeutic exercise programmes and social outings. The society also works closely with support groups in various hospitals and publishes newsletters and books on PD. The society’s membership has grown steadily over the years, from 150 in the early years to over 300 currently.
