Did you know your brain can actually rewire itself after a Parkinson’s diagnosis? 🧠💥

How it works? With neuroplasticity your brain can build entirely new neural pathways to bypass damaged areas, just like a GPS finding a detour around traffic! 🚗

Join our next EmpowerED session with expert neuro-physiotherapist Dana Bubenko to learn practical ways to re-train movement and preserve motor function.

📅 When: Tuesday, July 7 • 2 PM - 3 PM
📍 Where: Southdale Community Centre (Winnipeg) OR Online
🎟️ Cost: FREE

"Live Like an Athlete."

That was the powerful message shared by Parkinson's expert Dr. Bas Bloem at the 2026 World Parkinson Congress.

Living like an athlete isn't about winning races or setting records. It's about approaching Parkinson's with intention and purpose.

🏋️ Challenge yourself with high intensity exercise

❤️ Work toward reaching higher heart rate zones safely

🥗 Fuel your body with good nutrition

🤝 Build a strong team around you, including healthcare professionals, exercise specialists, family, and friends

Research continues to show that exercise is one of the most powerful tools available for people living with Parkinson's. The goal isn't simply to stay active. The goal is to train your body and brain to perform at their best.

Move with purpose. Live like an athlete. 💙

A special thank you to the amazing team at Grace Mennonite Church for welcoming us so warmly and helping make this event possible.

Today was a beautiful reminder of the strength of community. Seeing so many people come together in support of Parkinson’s filled us with hope and gratitude.

A gentle reminder that our Partners Support Group Session takes place this Friday at 10:45 AM.

This space is designed specifically for caregivers and partners of people living with Parkinson's to connect, share experiences, and receive support from others who truly understand the journey.

You do not have to carry it all alone. These conversations offer a chance to pause, reflect, and feel supported in a community that gets it.

We hope to see you there.
