💙 Proud to Spotlight TrialSphere Clinical Research! 💙

I’m excited to recognize TrialSphere Clinical Research for their support of the Michael J. Fox Foundation’s Targeting a Cure Topgolf Event on October 18th in Gilbert, Arizona!

As our Lead Event Sponsor, TrialSphere is helping support an important cause — raising funds for Parkinson’s research and the work being done to accelerate better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. 🧡

But their commitment goes beyond sponsorship. TrialSphere is advancing clinical research and providing opportunities for people to learn more about clinical studies.

As someone living with Young-Onset Parkinson’s, I know how important research is to our community. Clinical research gives us opportunities to move science forward, learn more about Parkinson’s, and help shape the future for those living with this disease.

👏 Thank you, TrialSphere, for standing with the Parkinson’s community and supporting Targeting a Cure!

💙Why do you walk?👟

Today, Jen shares why she walks:

I was diagnosed with Young-Onset Parkinson’s at 48. I walk because I won’t let Parkinson’s define me. I walk to learn, move, advocate, educate and fight back, for myself, my Parkinson’s community, caregivers and families, and those newly diagnosed who are wondering, “What happens now?” Most importantly, I walk for a future where Parkinson’s is no longer a diagnosis that changes someone’s life.

Join Jen at Moving Day Phoenix on November 7!
