Wife of Muhammad Ali Joins New Educational Campaign Supporting Parkinsons Disease Patients and Their Caregivers

In the United States, 1.5 million Americans currently have Parkinsons disease. It is estimated that 60,000 new patients are diagnosed each year. Parkinsons disease is a chronic, progressive disorder of the central nervous system that belongs to a group of conditions called motor system disorders. There presently is no cure for the disease, and the cause is unknown.

Lonnie Ali, wife of Muhammad Ali, is championing Fight For More a national campaign that provides support, educational information and resources to people who care for the more than 1.5 million patients with Parkinsons disease. Fight for more provides caregiver tips based on Lonnies real life experiences on how to keep a loved one active, juggle family commitments and manage medications. This information and more is available at www.fightformore.com.

For each person who signs up on www.fightformore.com, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International will make a donation of $10 to the Parkinsons unity walk.
