Objetivo Común: Aprender sobre la Enfermedad de Parkinson

💬 Curious about navigating relationships while living with young-onset Parkinson’s disease?

Beginning Sept. 21, we’re partnering with Parkinson & Movement Disorder Alliance to host a special Ask Me Anything forum moderated by Mel, Joseph, and Sarah.

They’ll answer community questions and share their insights about how YOPD can affect relationships, communication, intimacy, and staying connected through life’s changes. ❤️

“I was in shock. I almost fell off my seat literally. Hearing “I think it's Parkinson's”, when I'd been told it was nothing sinister 6 months before.

“I’m still processing it and think I always will be. It's complex to deal with as its a sense of loss, transition and adjusting to a new identity.”

Gracie was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at 38. She tells us all about adjusting to the news and finding a community within that.

“There's a lovely young onset group in Brighton who meet monthly at the pub. They're a really nice group, predominantly men.

“But there's a big Parkinson's community online and I know lots of women with Parkies who experience the same symptoms and lack of support. It’s horrendous that women's experiences of Parkinson's are really limited in terms of inclusion in research (and support).”

Finding the right support for you can be incredibly challenging, all while adjusting to a new diagnosis. When Parkinson's feels like it takes away so much, our supporters allow people like Gracie to be able to find support in their area. Without them we can't give back what Parkinson's takes away.
