One of the best parts of Celebrate Life is sharing heartfelt, inspiring stories from persons served and their families with attendees. This year, we had the opportunity to highlight several short stories throughout the evening, including Julio's! Catch his full video, and several others, on our YouTube channel:

PTs and OTs from across the country (and even the Bahamas) gathered at On With Life's Ankeny campus for a weekend of continued education and training! Instructed by JJ Mowder-Tinney, PT, Angie Reimer, OTD and Steve Page, OT/L, this stroke rehabilitation course equips therapists with the tools and knowledge they need to enhance stroke recovery care.

Our team always has the best time when this group comes to town!

A little friendly competition is fun for everyone! Last month, persons served got the chance to pie Cyclone fan staff members following the Iowa vs. Iowa State football game.

There is never a "perfect" time to capture family photos, but Julia Mae Photography, LLC knows the importance of showing up anyway. As a person served, Julia has experienced firsthand the impact of our Parkinson's program and is using her platform and skill set to give back. Join Julia at On With Life's Ankeny campus for fall family mini shoots on October 17 & 19. These 15-minute outdoor sessions are designed to be accessible for all and capture the love, connection and beautiful reality of your family.

A portion of all proceeds will be generously donated to On With Life! Learn more about Julia's project and book your photo session at https://www.juliamaephotography.com/?r=ee5c6e.

Not in the market for updated photos? Consider sponsoring a photo session for a current person served and their family! Information about sponsoring a photo session can be found at the link above.
