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.
