John’s passion for a Parkinson’s cure began with his wife’s subtle symptom of a toe twitch back in 2007. Fast forward after many years of misdiagnosis and worsening symptoms, Nicole’s confirmation of early onset Parkinson’s was unfortunately realized. This diagnosis has led him to look for ways to not only educate himself about the disease to be a better caregiver but to also look for ways to have a positive impact on our quest for a cure.
