Manage episode 462855513 series 2372163
In the PD Avengers Weekly Chat titled "3 Things to Make 2025 Great!", co-founders Larry Gifford, Soania Mathur, and Tim Hague discuss three key actions to enhance the well-being of individuals with Parkinson's disease in the coming year:
- Engage in Regular Exercise: Tim emphasizes the importance of consistent physical activity, citing research that shows 30 minutes of intense exercise, five days a week, can slow the progression of Parkinson's. He shares his personal routine at U-Turn Parkinson's, which includes activities like Tai Chi, dance, and functional fitness classes.
- Build a Supportive Community: Larry highlights the value of connecting with others to combat isolation. Engaging with people facing similar challenges can significantly improve one's quality of life. He notes that having a reliable support network, like his co-founders, has been beneficial for him.
- Participate in Research Initiatives: Soania encourages involvement in research, stressing that patient participation is crucial for developing better treatments and finding a cure. Opportunities range from enrolling in clinical studies to fundraising or completing online questionnaires. She mentions the Fox Insight study as an example of a valuable research project that involves filling out information online.
Additionally, they discuss the World Parkinson Congress's year-long fundraiser aimed at raising $25,000 for Young Onset Parkinson's travel grants for the upcoming congress in Phoenix in May 2026. They also congratulate Michael J. Fox on receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom and acknowledge his continued advocacy for ending Parkinson's disease.
