It may seem that this event may not be related to Parkinson’s disease but there are scams that are targeted to our community. Do you know how to protect yourself and your loved one from these types of scams?
Did you know that the Veterans Administration has 6 specialized Movement Disorder clinics around the US and there’s one in Virginia? Jessica will share information about these clinics called PADRECCs, how these clinics help Veterans living with Parkinson’s Disease and the community as a whole.

Larry was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease at the age of 45 in August 2017. In 2020, Larry read the book “Ending Parkinson’s Disease.” It sparked a series of Zoom calls during the early days of COVID to discuss the concepts of the book. As it ultimately is a prescription for action, The PD Avengers were born in the Fall of 2020.
This non-profit organization is a global alliance of people with Parkinson’s, our partners and friends, standing together demanding change in how the disease is seen and treated. PD Avengers adds urgency to the cause of ending Parkinson’s disease focusing on supporting people with Parkinson’s and other PD organizations through wellness, advocacy and research collaborations.
