Cheers to VOLUNTEERS!! Big thanks to Adrian for sharing his story at Moving Day San Antonio and to Juan, who built the frame for the banner—and then ran around the course with his wife because he knows one of the best ways to fight Parkinson's is to MOVE.

There are moments at Moving Day San Antonio that stay with you long after the event ends. Zephanie was one of those moments.

She showed up with a bright smile, a contagious energy, and a story rooted in love. A few years ago, her dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Since then, she has stepped into a role she didn’t ask for but fully embraces. She spoke about it not as a burden, but as both a privilege and a responsibility.
That kind of perspective stops you in your tracks.
She even shared a tattoo that represents her journey with her dad, a permanent reminder of the bond they share and the strength they carry together. It wasn’t just meaningful… it was powerful.
This is what Moving Day is all about.
It’s not just the steps we take; it’s the stories we carry. It’s families showing up for each other. It’s love, resilience, and the quiet courage that doesn’t always get seen.
Zephanie reminded us why we do this work.
🩵 For every caregiver
🩵 For every family
🩵 For every person living with Parkinson’s

We move together.

We’re proud to celebrate one of our incredible Ambassadors and her husband here in North Texas. 💙

This week, the Haslet community officially recognized April 2026 as Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month, an important step in bringing visibility to those impacted by Parkinson’s disease.

With the support of Mayor Gary Hulsey in Haslet, TX, who presented this meaningful proclamation, their family continues to turn a personal journey into powerful advocacy.

Moments like these remind us that awareness doesn’t start on a global stage, it starts right here in our local communities. And it truly matters.

We’re honored to stand alongside them as they raise awareness, inspire others, and push forward the movement to end Parkinson’s.
