Here’s what they’re saying
about YOPD-CON…
“All I can speak is of high praise, joy, hope, and my extended and grown community that is a direct result of this conference. This has genuinely been a life-changer for us, or at least for me. As I’ve mentioned to several individuals, we literally have never met anyone our age with Parkinson’s. Additionally, we have heard real, true, and ACTIONABLE next steps. There’s no way to quantify how beneficial this is.”
“Would like to thank everyone for putting this on!! Definitely very beneficial and full of information. Husband was diagnosed 2 months ago. Definitely have seen the light at the end of the tunnel & ‘we are in this together’”
“In 9 years we have not met anyone else with Parkinson’s that was our age, this is amazing.”
“We went because we hadn’t met any others with YOPD before and we felt like there were probably opportunities or programs out there that we weren’t aware of. We were correct. Having a social/activity component was so amazing because it highlights the fact that there are so many things that people with YOPD are still able to do, and to experience this with others was extraordinary. The programming – we were interested in learning more about DBS, but thought we were just doing some planning ahead for the future, but instead we learned we should be looking into this now. When we asked his neurologist about this, it sounded like he thought Jason “wasn’t that bad” and it was a brief conversation. We didn’t know what we didn’t know. We will MOST DEFINITELY be returning. Without a doubt. Aside from my response below.” 😄 ~Veronica
