Through research grants, the Parkinson's Foundation funds scientists conducting innovative studies across various aspects of PD to bring forward new therapies, treatments, and ultimately a cure for the 10 million people worldwide living with Parkinson's. 🔬 We are proud to announce an investment of nearly $3 million for 33 grants to accelerate cutting-edge PD research. “We are excited to fund these promising grant recipients as they develop more effective pathways for potential treatments and improved models for patient care to help provide a better quality of life for people living with PD,” said James Beck, PhD, chief scientific officer of the Parkinson’s Foundation.

🌟 A heartfelt thank you to the Senior Center in Timmonsville, South Carolina, for welcoming Nick Everetts and myself! It was a privilege to speak with such an incredible group about the Parkinson's Foundation and the impactful work we're doing across the Carolinas. Education and outreach are central to our mission, and we strive to make every community aware of the essential programs and resources available through the Parkinson’s Foundation. Engaging with local communities not only enhances awareness but also fosters connections that empower individuals and families affected by Parkinson's disease. #ParkinsonsFoundation #CommunityOutreach #Support #NorthCarolina #SouthCarolina #HealthcareAwareness #ParkinsonsDisease #Education #Wellbeing #Empowerment

This summer, I had the privilege of combining two of my greatest passions-yoga and supporting the Parkinson's community- through my Doctoral Capstone Project at Boston University. I'm thrilled to share the final product, "Building a Bridge Between Parkinson’s and Yoga: A Guide for Patients, Caregivers, Yoga Instructors, & Healthcare Professionals." This guide aims to empower people with Parkinson's and their support team to safely and effectively integrate yoga into their daily lives. PD Yoga Manual: https://lnkd.in/gFPKk76X PD Yoga Classes on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gwpDJyBr I invite you to explore these resources and share them with your loved ones who may benefit from them. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this project a reality!

As the somber saying goes, a parent should never have to bury their child. But in March 2023 Roland and Shelley Frankel had to do just that. Their son Graeme had been fighting Parkinson’s disease for five years and passed from an asthma-related emergency. To keep Graeme’s memory alive, the family decided to start a DIY fundraiser with the Parkinson’s Foundation. 🩵 Read their PD Story: https://lnkd.in/geRxiXZs
