Have you considered brain donation?
I wrote an article about donating my brain to science with the hopes that somehow, in my own small way, it may benefit others who have Parkinson’s in the future. It was no easy task in New York. It shouldn’t have to be so hard!

Have you made plans to donate your brain to science? If not, why not? If so, was it easy for you?

Hi Jean,Yes I have also decided to donate my brain to research. I was surprised at how difficult the process was for you. It shouldn’t be that way, particularly seeing how desperately research is needed. I am looking into the ins and outs of how to do this in Canada. I will soon be discussing this with my neurologist in hopes he will instruct me to the least frustrating way to to it. Thank you for this article. I too feel its the least I can do.
