Hello and Welcome
My name is Leona and I am the ideas person behind this community. I have been living with Parkinson's since 2012, I am not claiming to be an expert but what I do have is a lot of Lived Experience and that counts for a lot. I face the daily grind, with similar but different challenges and I know how hard it can be, so this is an attempt to create something that helps you, helps me to take all of the wonderful knowledge and lived experience that we have and spark connection and grow something meaningful with you that truly helps you with managing your day to day and being the best version of you.

Background
In 2020, a simple idea grew into a movement: Parkinson’s Exercise in Action. A community of people who believed that sharing experiences, challenges and victories could motivate everyone to move more, feel stronger and face each day with a little more rhythm and hope. What began as a shared space for exercise inspiration soon revealed something deeper: when we come together with support, accountability and practical strategies, life with Parkinson’s becomes less daunting and more doable.
From that spark, PRO:Active Parkinson’s emerged - a compassionate, action-oriented community dedicated to empowering people living with Parkinson’s to take charge of their health and well-being. Rather than waiting for “cure,” we believe in keeping healthy and strong by being proactive and building a community to believe that taking action matters to cultivate sustainable habits and elevate quality of life.
