My husband Mike was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. The diagnosis actually answered a lot of questions for the broad range of symptoms he’d been experiencing for several years. At this time, with the addition of his daily medication, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, he’s doing very well. Like everyone else touched by this disease we hope for a cure! Any support one can offer is much appreciated.
Participant Story
The revenues from our walk events are essentialto assure we meet our Goal: “No person with Parkinson’s should be without responsive, quality care and support”. Michigan Parkinson Foundation’s (MPF) Respite Care Program increased 117% in 2021. Since January 2021, we have provided 10,185 hours of care to Michigan families who are living with Parkinson’s. Over 1,400 people with Parkinson’s have participated in MPF’s virtual exercise classes and we are excited to be able to extend the classes through December 2022 completely free of charge. To date, we have been able to say “YES” to all that need our help.
