Episode 168: Celebrating Our Parkinson’s Foundation Volunteers
This month, we are honoring and celebrating our Parkinson’s Foundation volunteers. Every volunteer helps make a difference in the everyday lives of people living with Parkinson’s disease, whether it’s by helping organize a local community walk, serving as a research advocate providing feedback and collaborating with scientists on research studies, or speaking at a panel for a community education program. There are many opportunities to get involved with the Foundation.
In this episode, we highlight two volunteers, Tonia Smith, a public service advocate, member of the Parkinson’s Foundation People with Parkinson’s Advisory Council, and caregiver to her mother living with Parkinson’s disease, and Steve Sain, a retired engineer and a person living with Parkinson’s. They share their stories about how they became involved with the Parkinson’s Foundation.
