My name is Lani. I have been married 34 years to Jim. An amazing man that is there for me always. We have 4 amazing adult children, more importantly I am a grandma! It is the Best gig in the world. I have twin grandsons who completely own my heart.
I was diagnosed with PD at 43. I fall into that early onset category and have had PD almost 14 years. I have been blessed with amazing Dr's. and a supportive family. I feel confident that there will be a cure. Probably not in my lifetime, but should one of my children or grandchildren be diagnosed, I would hope that there would be a cure.
