La enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) sigue siendo una condición con muchas incógnitas, pero la investigación constante nos está ayudando a cerrar estas brechas en el conocimiento. En los últimos años, se han logrado importantes avances en las terapias diseñadas no sólo para el manejo de los síntomas motores y no motores, sino también para frenar el avance de la enfermedad.

Este programa explorará los últimos hallazgos en la investigación de la EP y tratamientos innovadores.

Moving Day is an inspiring and empowering annual fundraising walk event that unites people around the country living with Parkinson’s disease (PD), their care partners and loved ones to help beat PD. Moving Day is more than just a walk. It’s a celebration of movement – proven to help manage Parkinson’s symptoms.

Leading up to the event, participants and teams fundraise to help the Parkinson’s Foundation provide everything people with Parkinson’s need to live better — from lifesaving resources to delivering quality care to more than 196,700 people living with Parkinson’s to improving Parkinson’s treatments through research.

Moving Day proceeds help bring quality care to more people with Parkinson’s, further Parkinson’s research, education and outreach initiatives. Moving Day raises awareness of Parkinson’s both nationally and in the local community.

Episode 173: Listening to the Voices of Our Parkinson’s Caregivers

Each November, the Parkinson’s Foundation joins organizations across the country to honor care partners for National Family Caregivers Month. In this episode, we highlight the stories and experiences of two people who care for a person with Parkinson’s disease. Ripley Hensley is an emergency room nurse and a doctoral student at the University of Connecticut School of Nursing. Although she currently lives in Connecticut, she manages to find ways to help support both her mother, who is the primary caregiver, and her father who has Parkinson’s, back in Georgia. Meanwhile, Tom Graffeo lives with his partner, who has young-onset Parkinson’s. Although their caregiving roles differ, they share similar concerns and discuss how they provide care for their loved ones, while also prioritizing their own well-being.
