    We are the bold, the brave, the beautifully unsteady. Our mission, to reclaim the narrative of living with Parkinson’s. To inject vibrance and life where some see only stillness. Let’s embrace every shake, every stutter and each sway into a symbol of confidence, a unique swagger found only in Parkinson’s. To better say what we’ve known all along. That our movements are a distinct rhythm in the music of life. A life that can be rich with passion and purpose. Together, let’s change the narrative. It’s not Parkinson’s. It’s Swagger. ✨ Join us: www.FindYourSwagger.ca Watch the new brand campaign: https://lnkd.in/g8Y5dF8p #FindYourSwagger #ParkinsonsAwareness #Parkinsons
