Hello everyone. Today, in episode 4, we have a lovely guest named Lorraine Wilson. She is also an ambassador for the Davis Finney Foundation. She is going to sit down with us and talk about Parkinson's. Specifically, she will talk about how to start a support group. And all of the ups and downs she has had in her experience with her support group. She is a wealth of information on so many different topics. When Tom said Lorraine would sit in with us today, I couldn't remember who she was because I am awful with names. But as soon as she entered the episode, I remembered exactly who she was. She has been a tremendous mentor to me as an ambassador, a great friend, and an encourager on my journey with Parkinson's. She has given me great support and ideas for starting my support group. She is always entertaining to talk to. And I agree with Tom. She is one of my favorite people, and among the most fabulous ladies I know. Please come park right here and enjoy this hour with me, Katrina, Tom, and Lorraine. Enjoy episode 4 of the Park Right Here podcast. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them here after the video or email us at Park Right Here podcast at gmail.com. You can find us on Facebook, Instagram, or X. We are live every Thursday on Facebook and YouTube and will soon be on X.
