Ready to take your own Parkinson’s Pilgrimage?

Starting in January 2027, Dr. Mike Braitsch, PT, DPT of Tribe Wellness LLC, in collaboration with the Davis Phinney Foundation, is creating a FREE walking and wellness community for people with Parkinson’s.

The goal? Move together, stay motivated, and work toward a meaningful personal challenge.

In May, a small group will travel to Spain to walk the final 100 km of the Camino de Santiago — while others participate virtually or complete their own 100-km journey from home. 🌎

You don’t have to travel to Spain to be part of the journey!

📅 Join our FREE webinar: November 12, 2026 ⏰ 2 PM ET | 1 PM CT | 12 PM MT

Sunday Morning on CBS recently sat down with actor Alan Alda for an inspiring interview. At 90, he is reminding us that laughter can be a powerful way to face life’s hardest moments. ❤️

Diagnosed with Parkinson’s at 79, the MASH* star chooses to meet the disease with honesty, curiosity, connection, and humor.

“I don’t let Parkinson’s define me,” Alda says. “It’s not who I am. It’s just a hobby.”

His message is simple: accept reality, keep looking for solutions, stay connected to the people you love, and celebrate the small victories.

Sometimes resilience means laughing, trying again, and celebrating when you finally manage to put your own socks on. ❤️
