One of the biggest Parkinson's advocates I know is George Ackerman. George's mom, Sharon, was living with Parkinson's for years before anyone ever knew. The last 4 years of her life, George was his mother's caretaker and learned more about the world of Parkinson's than he ever anticipated. Since her passing, he has has been dedicated to driving advocacy to find a cure.

WOW, WOW, WOW! What a weekend! Our Parkinson's non-profit, the 5KforJK, had our 4th annual walking event this past weekend (September 15, 2024) in Columbus, OH. Erika came from Florida (for the 3rd time) and Jill came to Ohio for her 1st 5KforJK (and her first time to Ohio) all the way from Washington State! Straight from Erika and Jill - "community is everything...meeting other PD people is life changing."

If you are into learning more about the gut, check out this episode. We brought Martha Carlin back to talk about more research she is doing on the GUT! This time, she's researching the effects of body temperature and Parkinson's. It's still in the works, but man is it interesting to hear her talk about. While I may not understand all the scientific terms, I learn and understand what I need to from Martha!

Please remember, always talk to your physician and medical team before making any changes. We are not doctors!

This was a new term to me, but I know a lot of others are probably aware. But take a minute to listen to Dr. Patel discuss sundowning and how a carepartner or family member can help.
