Welcome to May! 💐🎈 Beat PD turns 8 years old this month, and we're celebrating in style. Each week, our members get to play fun and competitive games that help them connect with the other members, have some fun, and continue improving skills related to PD - such as dexterity - without even realizing it!

This week, we kicked off the celebration with balloons, tossing them back and forth for one minute without letting them touch the floor. Our highest count was 88 by the end of the week!! Pretty impressive. 💪

What fuels YOU? Michelle's go-to is a protein shake packed with nutrients that tastes delicious. 🥛🍌It's important to have enough energy to get the most out of our exercise! Whether we're taking a Beat PD Today class, we're outside playing pickleball, swimming, or walking with friends, fueling up correctly is a must! And it's even more important for people with Parkinson's to think about our nutrition!

Let us know what foods help keep you moving strong in the comments!🍎🍳🥪🥦💪

Beat PD Today's Anniversary is during the month of May! 🫶The energy of our community is what makes this program special. AND we were able to use science to prove why it matters. Our classes were the first Parkinson's exercise program to be scientifically proven to show that the brain works better when you participate! 💪🧠

In celebration of our anniversary month, we'll be playing some games during class! These games are to instill a sense of healthy competition and to keep working on PD symptoms in a fun way!😊

Keep showing up for yourself and this community by thinking strong, moving strong, and being strong. We're so glad to have you here. ❤ www.beatpdtoday.com

Mother's Day is coming up! 💐 Our founders are mothers, our members are mothers, and most of us have been raised by mothers or mother figures. We are forever grateful for them, and forever inspired by them. 💙

Help us commemorate the impact of the mothers in our community by filling out this form. It's just two short questions.
1. What is something your mom (or a mother figure) taught you?
2. If you are a mom, describe in one word or a short sentence what being a mom means to you. ⤵

Sometimes, it’s the everyday moments that matter most. Tasks that used to feel simple—like tying your shoes—can become more challenging, whether it’s reaching down to your feet or getting your hands to cooperate the way they used to.

But there’s real power in continuing to try. 💪

We know everyone’s journey and abilities look different, and that’s okay. What matters is showing up and giving it your best effort. Even something as small as tying a knot can be a really useful tool in building and maintaining dexterity!

Keep going, keep practicing, and keep proving to yourself just how capable you are. Every effort counts!

Part 2/2. 📢 We’re proud to be part of something bigger 🌍

Beat Parkinson’s Today is currently collaborating with four groundbreaking scientific studies that are helping shape the future of Parkinson’s research. And the best part? You can be part of it.

Every participant plays a role in deepening our understanding of PD and moving us closer to more effective ways to fight it. While exercise remains one of the most powerful tools we have—and the foundation of what we do—these studies are pushing the boundaries even further.

Together, we’re building momentum toward greater clarity, better treatments, and ultimately, a cure. 💛

Thank you for fighting the fight with us!🙌💙
