Between August 1953 and December 1987, veterans who served at least 30 days at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina were exposed to toxic water – contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) and other chemicals. These individuals are now at increased risk for a range of cancers – and for Parkinson’s disease.The ParkinsonTV team traveled to North Carolina last summer and talked with Amy Lindberg, who served at Camp Lejeune in the 1980s. Since she received her diagnosis, Amy has been a tireless advocate for those with Parkinson’s – and for justice for those exposed.Yesterday, her quest for justice took an important step forward.The SFC Heath Robinson Honoring Our PACT Act of 2022 just reached bipartisan agreement in the Senate, and will soon proceed to a vote. The bill is an amended version of an earlier bill passed by the House, and includes provisions specific to veterans exposed at Camp Lejeune – via the Camp Lejeune Justice Act.Today, we need your help with three things to help catalyze the next step.1. Please watch Amy’s profile and learn more about Camp Lejeune and her Parkinson’s journey.2. Please join Amy and the Parkinson & Movement Disorder Alliance for a liveZoom Q&A session tomorrow (5/20) at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET.Register To Meet Amy3.
