Support

Being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease can create feelings of isolation and loneliness. It is easy to think you or your loved one is the only person in the Brazos Valley who is coping with this disease. This couldn't be further from the truth!

Let us introduce you to others who are actively fighting back against PD.
 
​We call them PD ambassadors!

"I can't change the direction of the wind,
​but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination."
-- Jimmy Dean

Whether you are seeking help and guidance for yourself or for a loved one who is fighting PD,
we encourage you to learn about the disease, to find camaraderie among others who have PD and
to be proactive in your fight against the symptoms you face each day. 
​
Here are several local resources we invite you to consider:

Sometimes it helps to hang out with the guys. These guys just happen to have PD and they choose to
make it a habit to spend some time together once a month.

Location varies each month.

​reassuring for those who think they are the only ones with this disease.
