One World. One Night. One Light at a Time.

Spark The Night: A Beacon of Hope in Our Fight Against Parkinson’s

Spark The Night marks a profound evolution in our advocacy efforts. While World Parkinson’s Day remains crucial, focusing on the night draws attention to the hidden struggles of Parkinson’s—when isolation, anxiety, and loneliness often feel most overwhelming. But within this darkness, we find a guiding light: the enduring hope that promises a brighter tomorrow.

This moment is an invitation for global solidarity, an opportunity to spark collective change. "Spark the Night" represents our mission to illuminate cities worldwide in unity and support for the 11.8 million people living with Parkinson’s. On April 11, 2025, each blue light will shine as a symbol of a story, a voice, and an unwavering commitment to a better future for those affected by the disease.

Let’s light up the world with hope! Social media memes, personalized posts, and graphics will continue to be available at www.worldparkinsonsday.com. Explore PD facts and connect with a network of over 100 organizations supporting PD Avengers in our shared mission to end Parkinson’s disease.

Together, let’s make April 11, 2025, a day—and night—dedicated to ending Parkinson’s.
