How do you support the Demoucelle Parkinson Charity?
I support it as best I can through my field, which is advertising, and through the agency where I work, Serviceplan Group. My contribution ranges from communication strategy to fundraising ideas, or simply graphic design support.
Why did you choose to support research to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease?
Because I was asked to 😉 And because, put simply, I believe that in life, as well as in our job, we should devote part of our time to doing good.
To relate this to my profession, I have always believed in the power of behavioural communication. Challenges such as creating optimism around a disease like Parkinson’s intrigues me. The positive “marketing” approach — say “YES” to a future without Parkinson’s — has, in my opinion, phenomenal impact.
What advice would you give to others who would like to organize an initiative to support Parkinson’s research?
My advice would be not to just think about it, but to do it. And get rid of the idea that whatever we do is only a drop in the ocean.
What is your favorite motto to guide your life?
“Carpe Diem.” And also “Optimists don’t fear their plans.” Two phrases that also fit very, very well with the philosophy of the Demoucelle Parkinson Charity and with the personalities of Anne-Marie and Patrick!
