Research shows that exercise is the most powerful way to slow the progression of Parkinson's Disease, offering hope and strength to those living with this condition. Yet, the challenges of navigating a neurodegenerative disease extend beyond physical health, affecting caregivers, spouses, and individuals alike. Support groups provide a lifeline—connecting people, fostering understanding, and empowering everyone touched by Parkinson's to face these challenges together.
