On March 11, 2020, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. The past few years have been challenging, but with the help of my amazing family and friends, I feel lucky every day. During this time I have also learned more about my family's medical history and the people who I share this disease with. Since my diagnosis, I have been determined to help every person diagnosed with Parkinson's live their best possible life.  ~Michelle
