Creating awareness of a neurological disorder

 

A Seneca woman earned bravos today for helping create awareness of a neurological disorder for which there is not yet a cure.  Claire Muzal was called brave for making what Seneca Rotary President Debbie Dubose called a remarkable and informative talk to the club membership.  Many people are familiar with the name Parkinson’s Disease, but not with its symptoms and effects.  For Muzal a tremor in her thumb was the first sign something was wrong.  And because her older sister became a Parkinson’s patient, Muzal decided she would take on an activist role for better treatment and a cure.  She’s now part of South Carolina’s Parkinson’s Action Network.  One way to learn more about the disease is through the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
