The program will discuss evidence-based approaches that may help manage symptoms, maintain function, improve quality of life, and potentially slow progression through exercise, therapy, medication, and supportive care.

This Seminar Welcomes Anyone Whose Life Has Been Touched by Parkinson’s.

  • People living with Parkinson’s
  • Newly diagnosed individuals
  • Caregivers and family members
  • Healthcare professionals
  • Anyone seeking education, support, and practical resources

Join a Neuro Challenge Support Group:

As a Neuro Challenge Ambassador, Mary leads the “Movers and Shakers” Parkinson’s Support Group—a welcoming community for individuals living with Parkinson’s and their care partners.

Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with Parkinson’s for years, this group provides a place to connect with others who truly understand the journey. Participants share experiences, encourage one another, exchange practical ideas, and discover valuable resources in a caring and supportive environment.

No one should have to face Parkinson’s alone.

We’re excited to announce that we are looking to expand this support ministry. If you or someone you know would be interested in participating in a current or future support group—or would like to learn more—we would love to speak with you following today’s seminar.

Together, we can build a stronger Parkinson’s community filled with hope, encouragement, and practical support.
