The Parkinson's Unity Walk helps raise awareness

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Carol Walton with The Parkinson Alliance visited the Eyewitness News set Saturday morning to talk about the 2014 Parkinson's Unity Walk.

She urged patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease to seek care from specialized doctors that have extra training in working with Parkinson's. Walton also warned that increased isolation is a typical problem for those with the disease.

The Unity Walk is April 26 in New York.
