Columbia Parkinson's Support Group

The mission of the Columbia Parkinson's Support Group is to provide the Parkinson's Community with SUPPORT, INFORMATION, EDUCATION, to create AWARENESS about Parkinson's Disease, and FUNDRAISING to further research for the cure of Parkinson's Disease.

The funds raised through Midlands Gives will be used to further educate the public about Parkinson's Disease, to contribute to research for treatments and (some day) a cure. Last year, it helped to provide scholarships for personal trainers to obtain exercise certification specifically for working with Parkinson's patients. We are also starting a Speaker's Bureau.
