Our Mission

Dedicated to improving the lives of people with Parkinson's Disease by encouraging community, fostering movement, and raising awareness.

We believe that the first step towards making positive change is by starting in our own local community.

In the National ranking of total population, Florida has the second highest number of people with Parkinson's Disease. As a non-profit organization based in Northwest, FL, Parkinson's Strong, Inc. is committed to taking action and making a positive impact for those diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and their families right here at the homefront.

Here are a few ways we do it:

BOXING PROGRAMS

DONATIONS & SPONSORS

RAISING AWARENESS

We understand all of the emotions that one experiences when they or a loved one has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. If that is you, we want you to know the following truths:

You are seen.
You are understood.
You are not your disease.
you are not alone.
you are strong.

We are here to talk

Together we are stronger.

Testimonials

“I am a 58-year-old male with Parkinson’s disease, and because his focus is on my individual challenges and goals and not a generic fitness program, he has designed a workout that has helped me make tremendous strides in my fight against the ravages of the disease by helping me build core strength, eye to hand coordination, and balance that has made such a positive impact. My neurologist noticed in a checkup just days after my 3rd workout with him. This nonprofit is a very worthy cause!”

“Parkinson’s Strong gives us the gift of movement. John’s smile lights up the room and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is never too busy to listen. He strives to bring all people with Parkinson’s out of hiding and join other people with Parkinson’s in exercise and community. We are not alone.”

“I met John with a severe knee injury and walked with a cane. He gave me his full attention and restored my strength gradually and without the need of surgery, and for that I am so grateful. His knowledge, dedication, and love for what he does with Parkinson’s Strong has inspired me to be better than ever, both physically and spiritually. He truly is the most kind, inspiring, and dedicated coach I know. I am so happy that this non-profit will help others like me.”

“John with Parkinson’s Strong has been working with my 81 year old father who has Parkinson’s and Dementia for over 8 months. This organization has been such a blessing with patiently working with my Dad and finding new ways to help with his balance, strength, and flexibility. On the days when my Dad was not up to working out, just being a friend to him was priceless.”
