                                            🧠 April is Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month! Let's shed light on the vital role of dopamine in our brains and its connection to Parkinson's. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter, regulates movement, emotion, and cognition. In Parkinson's, there's a decline in dopamine-producing cells, leading to tremors, stiffness, and changes in cognition. Let's support research, spread awareness, and offer compassion to those affected. 
We will be out at Sandy Creek Park this Saturday supporting the Outpace PD 5K run and 1 mile walk. Online registration is closed, but you can still sign up on race day! Proceeds will go to Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. 
Call today if you or a loved one are experiencing speech, voice, swallowing, or cognitive changes associated with Parkinson’s at 706-225-9852!
