Build Connections in the Parkinson’s Buddy Network
Everyone's Parkinson's path is unique, but that doesn’t mean you’re alone. The Parkinson’s Buddy Network is an online community of people impacted by Parkinson’s — those living with the disease, their loved ones and caregivers. Make meaningful connections, engage in important dialogue and find useful resources.
Become a Policy Advocate
As people living with Parkinson's and their loved ones know, you are — and often must be — your own best advocate. By telling lawmakers what matters to people with Parkinson’s and sharing your story, you play a critical role in helping fund research toward a cure and ensuring there are programs and support for our community.
