MapMusic.org was the inspiration of Robbie Tucker the youthful and charismatic musician diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at the age of 28. Now as he turns 31, Robbie Tucker is making a difference by creating various efforts to make Parkinson’s disease known to youthful generation.
““This MapMusic.org will help both the music community and more importantly those affected with Parkinson’s, especially the youth” says Robbie Tucker. “Not many people know but young people can get Parkinson’s Disease and its important to demonstrate to them, that this is real and look at me, I’m so young and I’m living with it.” Says Tucker.
Traditionally Parkinson's disease is thought of as only affecting the elderly, this of course is untrue. The risk of Parkinson's disease increases with age. The general age for onset is 60-65 yrs; however, around 5-10% of people diagnosed are under 45 with about 1% of those being under 30.
· Donations will be appreciated, all proceeds will go towards MAPMUSIC.ORG & for people living with Parkinson's Disease.
· Come and support this cause. For all information contact
