In 2016, after numerous doctors visits, loads of tests, and an increase of symptoms, Omotola Thomas was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. As a wife, a mother, and a warrior she quickly decided that she wasn't going to let Parkinson's disease stand in her way.

In order to make her mission bigger than herself, she created ParkinStand to inspire others. A ParkinStand is any positive action performed in defiance of the mental and physical limitations imposed on a person by a debilitating illness like Parkinson's disease.

Omotola established ParkinStand to motivate people who are dealing with any type of illness to fight back (with information, proper nutrition, exercise, and, most importantly, an unconquerable mindset). Her goal is to encourage people to redefine the boundaries of the limitations brought on by such illnesses.
