Now is the time to show them how LOUD our voices can be…🗣️Let’s SHOUT OUT against the chemicals and the policies that allow them to continue using and causing Parkinson’s!!!!

📣 Today is the Parkinson’s National Day of Action!

The Michigan Parkinson Foundation is proud to join advocates across the country in calling on lawmakers to strengthen support for Parkinson’s research, care, and services.

You don’t have to be in Washington, D.C. to make a difference. You can take action right from home!

A quick call or email to your representatives can help advance progress for the more than 1 million people in the U.S. living with Parkinson’s, including many right here in Michigan.

Amazing people fighting the battle we are all fighting…🌷

MPF is headed to Washington, D.C.! 🏛️✈️

Next week, our CEO, Kristin Rossi, and Board Member/Veteran Advocate, Nate Jolliff, are joining more than 200 Parkinson’s advocates at the The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research Policy Forum. Together, they’ll meet with lawmakers, share real stories from the community, and push for progress in research, treatment, and care.

Nate, who was diagnosed in 2021 after serving at Camp LeJeune, now leads a support group for veterans with Parkinson’s. He’s ready to make sure the voices of veterans and people living with PD are heard loud and clear on Capitol Hill.

Key issues on the table:
🔹 Keep research funding moving forward
🔹 Advance the National Parkinson’s Project
🔹 Show the strength of our PD community
🔹 Make sure Parkinson’s voices are impossible to ignore in Congress

Stay tuned. We’ll be sharing updates from D.C. as MPF helps lead the charge for change! 💙

Love yourself a little extra right now. You're balancing so much, handling things no one sees, and doing your best.

Give yourself grace.

Maybe you don't see your progress because you are always raising the bar. Take a moment to look back, you have already achieved things you once thought were impossible.
