Quote

“I'm grateful that there are so many wonderful resources and people to help me cope with my Parkinson’s.  I never feel alone, and I’m proud of those who battle PD and are so brave and courageous in living a meaningful life; the reality of the breadth of symptoms would stun many.  I learn something truly heart-warming and inspiring each time I connect with a friend in this very special environment.” --C.W.

“I was my husband's caregiver for years; it was a wonderful and awful journey, and sometimes caregivers must reach out for support.  PD is all over the place, and PRO is a needed, ongoing resource that knows people are on different trajectories.”  --M.G.
