My Parkinson’s Journey – The Positive Side of Parkinson’s Disease with Sharon Krischer
May 15 11am-12:30pm ET
(10am CT, 9am MT, 8am PT)
Sharon Krischer was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in October 2009 after several years of experiencing odd symptoms. Ever since she has read everything she could find on Parkinson’s with the goal of finding a way to move on – literally – and not be defeated by the disease. A busy person prior to her diagnosis, she continues to find ways to fit more into her days than most people.
Sharon writes a blog: “Twitchy Woman’s Adventures with Parkinson’s” to encourage the exchange of ideas and solutions with other whose lives have been affected. Since the start of the pandemic, Sharon has been hosting a twice monthly Zoom series for women with Parkinson’s called Sunday Mornings with Twitchy Woman. Most recently, Twitchy Woman sponsored 11 women to attend the World Parkinson Congress in Barcelona in July 2023. Sharon is a respected leader in the worldwide Parkinson’s community. Come and listen as Sharon shares her experiences and journey with Parkinson’s disease.
