  • Very informative!

    Fantastic informative episodes. I love that they are constantly letting people (with PD and without) know about the studies available and how you can participate!

    Sometimes the webinar audio is a bit garbled, but it doesn’t take away from the content.

    Keep it up guys! You ROCK! 🤗

Q: What does acceptance mean to you, and does that word resonate or would you describe it differently?
It took a long time and a great deal of introspection before I could emotionally accept my diagnosis, what I call true acceptance—it doesn't mean laying down and accepting a life devoid of quality, but taking an active role in your management.
