“Sam’s story is unfolding. And every chapter reminds me of how strong, funny, and brilliant she is. Parkinson’s doesn’t define her; it’s just one part of our story. “
“I don’t know what the future holds,” he says honestly. “But I’m working on it now. And I’m lucky to have people beside me.”
“I tell them, ‘I’ve had Parkinson’s for 5 years. Do I look okay to you?’ And they say, ‘Yeah, you do.’ That moment gives me hope.”
“Parkinson’s doesn’t stop me from being myself. If anything, it’s made me more intentional [with my time].”
“I’ve always been positive and upbeat—it killed me to say I didn’t feel good,” Lori says. “These days, I feel more comfortable and more like myself in my routine.”
“I have found something that has given me the flexibility to keep living my life the way I want to.”
“We’re all on this journey together. And if I can help someone feel even a little less afraid of the future, then I’ve done what I set out to do.”
“Before, I sometimes felt like Parkinson’s was dictating my schedule,” Stuart shared. “Now, with CREXONT, I’m able to participate more in the activities I care about.”
“It was the right time. The community here is amazing people who genuinely look out for one another. It makes a huge difference.”
