For one family, Parkinson’s disease is not just a diagnosis. It is a story spanning nearly 70 years, four generations, and a shared determination to help create a better future for those affected by the disease.

For Dr. Elizabeth Ferluga, a movement disorder specialist at Synapticure, helping people living with Parkinson’s disease goes beyond diagnosis and treatment. Her work centers on education, empowerment, and giving patients the knowledge and tools they need to live their best lives.

Synapticure is a national telemedicine company focused on neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s. Through her role with the organization, Dr. Ferluga has the opportunity to serve members of the Parkinson’s community across the country, connecting patients with specialized care and guidance.

For Michelle Edwardson, a registered nurse whose career is dedicated to supporting people affected by neurodegenerative disorders, Parkinson’s disease is more than a professional focus. It is a deeply personal mission shaped by her family’s experience and strengthened by the patients she serves every day.

Michelle’s journey began when her grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinsonism and Lewy body disease. Through his experience, she witnessed firsthand how a neurodegenerative diagnosis affects not only the individual but also the entire family.

For Sean, a member of the Parkinson’s Foundation Georgia Chapter Board since 2023 and a longtime Moving Day Atlanta participant, the fight against Parkinson’s is deeply personal. His involvement began after his father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease approximately eight or nine years ago, introducing his family to the challenges of navigating a progressive neurological condition.

“At first it was very shocking and very difficult for our entire family,” Sean shared.
