People living with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and their loved ones develop countless ways to adapt and make daily life easier as symptoms change.
In this podcast, members of The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s Patient Council and their care partners share decades of collective wisdom on living with PD. They came together for a live conversation at MJFF’s New York City offices to discuss what they’ve learned along their own disease journeys, from practical strategies and tools that make daily life easier to the mindsets and mantras that guide and sustain them.
Patient council member Larry Gifford — diagnosed with PD in 2017 and president of PD Avengers — co-hosts the episode with his wife and care partner, Rebecca, as they reflect on the advice shared in that discussion and weave in their own experiences.
