a broad range of topics. Events like this
empowered me to take control of my
Parkinson’s journey by providing guidance
on building a support team, showcasing the
value of community and clinical research, and
helping to make everything about living with
Parkinson’s a little less overwhelming. I hope
it does the same for those in attendance.”
Hundreds of attendees joined MJFF for
the inaugural event in Atlanta, Georgia
in September. “The event surpassed my
expectations. It increased my knowledge
about PD and motivated me to do more as
a caregiver,” said one attendee. Next stop:
Southern California in December. The event
is free of charge, but spaces are limited,
so register early to secure your seat. Visit
