My wife, Joyce, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2008. In 2017 a fellow PD Caregiver and I formed Mind and Motion (M&M), a Parkinson’s Support Network in Marion Cty, Florida. I established a Partnership agreement with the NeuroChallenge Parkinson’s Foundation in 2018. The main mission of M&M is PD Education, Fitness and Exercise, and Support for both People with Parkinson’s and Caregivers. I manage and coordinate M&M’s Caregiver Support sessions, and often field telephone calls with couples wherein there has been a recent PD diagnosis. I also have two revered adult children who are part of our PD team, in Virginia and Colorado.
