My Story…
After joining a Parkinson's this group (Movin Not Parkin) or BNW (Banner Neuro Wellness Gilbert), I finally connected with people with Parkinson's and found them to be inspiring, supportive, and helpful. Additionally, they are my dear friends, supportive therapists, advisors, dance, music, speech, social worker, and great exercises to work with. I have been so lucky to have Parkinson's families in Arizona and Japan (my hometown). They have given me courage and hope, and I have members who never give up and support me.
This is my fifth time participating. I want to let people who don't know about the Parkinson's Awareness Walk know about it, and help Parkinson's patients who are "suffering alone" not feel lonely. Because that will support us. Even if your legs won't move or you can't move, your hands may shake, or you can't keep your balance and you're about to fall, we want to keep controlling it and do our best. Please join our team for a 4k walk (with your furry pet)!
