For people with Parkinson's, being diagnosed with a chronic condition that has no cure and is known to progress over time is a life- altering event, and the start of a new phase of life with a whole host of difficulties, in relation to movement, mood and lifestyle. The Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder Society (PDMDS) educates and empowers people with Parkinson's and their caregivers to improve their quality of life as they move forward in their journey of living with this chronic condition. This NGO has support groups all over Mumbai, and also in 13 states in India. They provide FREE OF COST rehabilitative services including psycho-education about the condition, physiotherapy, cognitive training, occupational therapy, counseling, speech exercises, home visits, aids and medication. They also conduct numerous awareness and training programs to sensitize various populations in India about Parkinson's as well as other neurological conditions and healthy aging in the elderly. They have been participating in the TATA Mumbai Marathon for many years, and each year they hope to raise awareness and funds for their cause! I encourage you to show them your support so that they can continue to educate and empower the elderly across India, provide rehabilitative services and build a supportive community for people with Parkinson's and their caregivers!
