This is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, and the Kirk Gibson Foundation for Parkinson’s is hosted Gibby’s Day at Comerica Park Wednesday afternoon.

Gibson is one of the most famous people to have Parkinson’s, along with Michael J. Fox. It affects 35,000 people in Michigan.

The medical director of Corwell Health’s Movement Disorders Program, Dr. Adam Kuhlman, says there are a lot of therapies.

“We don’t quite have a cure for Parkinson’s disease, nor a way of slowing down progression, although that’s something that research has been dedicated towards and really pushing the envelope,” Kuhlman said. “I’m hopeful that in the near future with some of these things that are in later stages of clinical development that we may be able to say something differently soon.”

Coleman says they don’t know the cause of Parkinson’s, but it could be genetic or environmental.
