Happy Healthy Aging Month!

Genetics cause about 10% to 15% of all Parkinson's. 🧬 In some families, changes (or mutations) in certain genes are inherited or passed down from generation to generation. If you have a Parkinson's diagnosis, you can receive a free test for all genes that the medical community believes are linked to PD by enrolling in PD GENEration.

"Dream. Believe. Achieve. Succeed," says Peggy Faber. 👟 "I never lost sight of the dream! I firmly believed I could complete 50 marathons in 50 states. I achieved my goal, and on September 22, 2024, I succeeded in completing the Adirondack Marathon in NY with family, friends and a few hundred cheering fans to help me celebrate. But the dream does not stop here. I will continue to fight Parkinson’s with everything in me, while doing my best to encourage and inspire others to do the same."
