Please support our mission to help everyone living with Parkinson’s Disease in the Greater Capital Region Live Well

As we approach the holiday season, I feel thankful for everything we've accomplished

since launching Help for Parkinson's in 2022. I often joke—though it's true—that if you

have Parkinson’s, the capital region is the best place to live. Consider what we

offer—most of it free to anyone living with Parkinson’s disease. Help for Parkinson’s

provides financial support for all the following:


  • Dance Classes with Rachelle Stallman Smith

  • Yoga with Deb Foss

  • Friday’s boxing class at Schott’s Boxing

  • All the Wonderful classes at the 15 Y branches around the Capital Region,

    including Saratoga Springs and Glens Falls.

  • Various learning opportunities, such as lunch and learn sessions, as well as the

    popular Living Well with Parkinson’s event.


And finally, the most exciting news of the year is the opening of the Parkinson's Center

at the YMCA, located at the Hannaford’s Shopping Plaza off Wolf Rd in Colonie. Help

for Parkinson’s remains committed to partnering with the Capital Region YMCA to

support the Parkinson’s Center at the YMCA through programs, resources, and financial

support.


Help for Parkinson's is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and every dollar we receive

goes directly to programs and resources that assist people with Parkinson's in living

well. Our progress in such a short time is thanks to generous donations from people like

you and me. If you haven't donated yet, I encourage you to consider doing so.

With your help, support, and participation, the Capital District Parkinson’s community

has made significant progress this past year. With the support of the Parkinson’s

Community and our friends, there is still so much more we can do to help those living

with this progressive disease thrive and enjoy their best possible lives!


Happy Holidays,

Help for Parkinson’s
