Today, FITE For Your Write honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his lifelong dedication to service, dignity, and equity.

Dr. King believed that everyone deserves the opportunity to live with purpose and independence. At FITE For Your Write, we reflect that vision by empowering individuals through education, tools, and community-based programs that support confidence, communication, and quality of life.

On this MLK Day of Service, we are reminded that meaningful change often begins with small, intentional actions—education, advocacy, and compassion working together.

Together, we continue striving to create access, understanding, and empowerment for all.

✍️ Understanding Micrographia Matters ✍️

We’re grateful for the opportunity to present an Intro to Micrographia lecture at Discovery Village Independent Living.

Micrographia—small, cramped, or changing handwriting—is one of the top and most under-addressed symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, and it also affects individuals with other neurological conditions. While often overlooked, handwriting plays a critical role in daily independence, communication, and confidence.

At FITE For Your Write, we’re passionate about helping individuals understand:
✔️ Why micrographia happens
✔️ How it impacts daily life
✔️ And most importantly—that tools, strategies, and exercises exist to address it

Education is the first step toward empowerment, and we’re proud to bring awareness and practical solutions directly into our community.

📅 Friday, January 30th | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Discovery Village Independent Living – Bradenton
📄 See attached flyer for full details and RSVP information

Thank you to Discovery Village for welcoming us and supporting education around neurological health and independence. We look forward to continuing to shine light on this important—and too often overlooked—topic.

At FITE For Your Write, we believe handwriting is about so much more than pen and paper. It’s about confidence, independence, and staying connected to the activities that matter most 💙

Through education, practical strategies, and supportive community programs, we help individuals facing micrographia and other fine motor challenges take meaningful steps toward clearer, stronger writing—and improved daily function.

Whether you’re living with Parkinson’s, supporting a loved one, or part of the care community, we’re here to write the journey together.

🎉 NYE Functional Tip | FITE For Your Write ✍️

Before the countdown… warm up your hands!
New Year’s Eve often means writing, texting, signing cards, holding glasses, and using phones—all of which require fine motor control.

✨ Try this quick NYE hand warm-up:
• Open and close your hands 10 times
• Roll your wrists slowly in both directions
• Practice writing large, intentional numbers (hello, 2026! 😉)
• Take short breaks to avoid hand fatigue

These simple movements can improve control, comfort, and confidence—so you’re ready to celebrate and start the new year strong.

💙 Small movements. Big impact.
