For over 200 years, Parkinson Disease has been steadily growingand recently, at an alarming rate. It is now the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world. In the U.S., Florida has the highest number of cases per capita, with over 79,000 individuals affected, contributing to the 1 million cases nationwide and 10 million globally. That number is projected to rise to 12.9 million by 2040.

Our mission is to provide hope and critical resources to help individuals and families navigate the challenges of living with Parkinsons.
