Quickly. With one diagnosis comes one million questions. The Parkinson’s Foundation works hard to provide real, evidence-based answers to the questions people have throughout every [stage](/understanding-parkinsons/what-is-parkinsons/stages "Stages of Parkinson's") of the disease. That’s why we created our Public Service Announcement (PSA) “Find Real Answers.” We are proud to feature the faces and families of people with Parkinson’s who have turned to the Foundation for advice and support, and whose experiences with the Foundation have led them to become PD advocates. ‍ Get to know the people from the Parkinson’s community who came together in Chicago to help create our new PSA. They are real people living with Parkinson’s, care partners, children of people with PD, healthcare workers and more. Their stories are inspiring, and we hope you will enjoy getting to know them. ![Bob and Deb standing together outside](/sites/default/files/styles/820x460/public/images/psa-video-image-2026.png?h=17c3cd98&itok=Iz3aNBzZ) [DOWNLOAD MEDIA](/about-us/press-room/psa#download "Public Service Announcements") [En Español](/about-us/press-room/psa#en-español "Public Service Announcements") ## Meet the People Featured in the PSA ### Bob Baittie, living with PD “I used to say that Parkinson’s will not define me, but the joke’s on me. I’ve written a book, given a Ted Talk, volunteered, speak about Parkinson’s and even appear in the Parkinson’s Foundation PSA. I talk about Parkinson’s all the time — it has become my identify, and I’m thankful for that.” [Read his story](/living-with-parkinsons/stories/bob-deb-baittie) ![Bob Baittie standing against a fence](/sites/default/files/styles/412x398/public/images/psa-bob-baittie.jpg?h=c9aea1bc&itok=d-h7cDaT) ### Fidel Guzman, living with PD “Yo quise participar para que otros hispanos que sufren de Parkinson’s sepan donde buscar apoyo y información.” “I wanted to participate so other Hispanic people who suffer from Parkinson’s know where to find support and information."
