Created by Neuro Challenge in 2018 as a free event for the regional Parkinson’s community, the Parkinson’s Expo has become a nationally renowned annual event with an international reach. The 2021 Parkinson’s Expo allowed attendees to become engaged, educated and empowered from the comfort and safety of their homes. Parkinson’s Expo attendees logged on from across the globe to hear Parkinson’s experts discuss the importance of exercise, mind-body and social connection, advocacy, research and more. A highlight of the event was the live Q&A session with all speakers addressing questions submitted in real time by the world-wide audience. Dr. Sara Grivetti, Neuro Challenge CEO, welcomed attendees and shared how important it is for Neuro Challenge to make this vast array of resources available to the Parkinson’s community. “Parkinson’s Disease is complex and affects each person in different ways. Therefore, Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s provides an array of services and programs designed to help people navigate the complexity of their disease. We are proud to offer our services and the Parkinson’s Expo at no charge to the person impacted by Parkinson’s and their care partner.
