I was 47 years old when I was told that I had Parkinson's disease. I got lemons, a whole basket full.... actually more like a truck backed up and the driver said where do you want these, pal? Dumped them on top of me and drove off. Sad, angry, denial, I could have chosen many different ways to react, but none of them would eliminate that word incurable from Parkinson's.
I decided at that very moment that I would make lemonade. Not just a glass, I would build my own lemonade stand and do my part to find a cure. PY vs. PD Foundation was formed to support Parkinson's disease research and awareness in the northern Virginia area with the support of family, friends, and our community. A cure is possible if we all come together and play a part, whether it's participating in clinical trials, forming support groups, or raising awareness. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization, made up of an all volunteer staff.
