Parkinson's Disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement. Over 90,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease each year. Parkinson's disease is a complex disorder that requires a multifaceted approach to management. With the right treatment and support, individuals with Parkinson's disease can lead fulfilling lives.
Classes and Activities to Increase Mobility
Exercise is the only known therapeutic that can actually slow the progression of the Parkinson's Disease.
Socialization is a core aspect of our mission to bring the community together. That's why we provide events such as seminars, bowling, golfing, dance parties, rock climbing and more.
Every dollar goes directly to providing wellness activities for people with Parkinson's Disease and educational resources.
When I was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s, I learned that there are many wonderful charities that are working to cure this disease, however, there wasn’t much support for people with active disease and symptoms. POP set out to change that in three ways: Exercise, Education, and Socialization ~ Founder, Gary Rogliano
