This tribute is for my Uncle Lucky, who passed away on April 17, 2021 with Parkinson's Disease. He was a loving husband and father who adored his grandchildren. He was also a Vietnam Veteran who served in the US Army.
I am also a Parkinson's warrior. Nearly 90,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's each year and nearly 6 million people worldwide are affected by this disease.
On behalf of my uncle, and others who have passed from this disease this tribute is for you. I am making it my mission on spreading awareness in hopes that we can generate money for research. Money that will accelerate new treatments, slow progression, reverse old or new damage, and find a cure.
I created a website in July 2023, that I named this site was intended to help newly diagnosed individuals find a one-stop place to find resources that will help them navigate through a large volume of materials.
Please join me on this fight! Thanks!
