This year has been a big one for me and my Parkinson journey.
In May I attended the World Parkinson Congress in Phoenix as a SEAYOPD Leader and an APDA NW Board member where I mingled with PWP, Advocates and Researchers, learning many things about managing my PD. I connected with my community and empowered myself to live a better life.
In June I had Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery and so far it's been life changing. I move better, I feel better, and have much less tremors.
I was able to do these things because of the APDA Community based approach to helping PWP through education, research and community outreach. NOW is my timet to give back to them.
I need YOUR help!

I’m walking to make a difference for the Parkinson’s disease (PD) community, and I’d love your support. Every six minutes, someone is diagnosed with PD. The funds we raise will help the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) provide:

Local education, information, and support for people impacted by PD
-
Nationwide virtual programs to keep everyone connected, no matter where they live
-
Scientific research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and ultimately a cure
