The Women’s Parkinson’s Project (WPP) was started to raise the voices of women for better treatment, and research for women with Parkinson’s disease.
Their Mission is threefold:
“Advocacy
Sharing stories is an instinctual part of what we do and how we connect. Sharing our stories means raising our voices.
Community
Building a network of women who understand one another and can support one another is vital.
Self-Care
Taking time for ourselves is the quickest way to maintaining a healthy life with Parkinson’s”.
