The Problem

There is no cure for Parkinson's and the disease leads to severe disability and diminished quality of life. But research suggests that exercise, nutrition and stress reduction can help manage symptoms, improve overall health and prevent other serious illnesses. BGF's wellness retreat provides tools to help people with Parkinson's stay active, eat healthy and reduce stress to improve their quality of life.

The Gift

Your support can help provide a day of wellness to a person living with a serious, debilitating and often socially isolating disease. In addition to the exercise, nutrition and mindfulness sessions provided at the retreat, participants will also get a chance to meet others that are living with Parkinson's and understand what they're going through. Together we can improve the quality of life with people with Parkinson's and help them remain as active as possible for as long as possible.
