Support Delaware’s Largest Parkinson's Community During Do More 24 Delaware!
Parkinson’s disease affects millions globally, but right here in Sussex County, we’re making a difference. Our mission is to support individuals and families facing Parkinson’s through a variety of services, including exercise programs, education, and compassionate community support.
A Parkinson’s diagnosis can feel overwhelming, leaving individuals and their loved ones with more questions than answers. That’s where we come in—providing the guidance, resources, and community connections necessary to navigate the complexities of living with Parkinson’s. Our group offers specialized exercise programs, up-to-date information, and a welcoming environment where no one has to face Parkinson’s alone.
What We Do:
- We sponsor over 5 support meetings a month, offering connection and community for those living with Parkinson’s and their families.
- Daily exercise classes via Zoom and in person, led by certified trainers specializing in Parkinson’s disease-specific fitness.
- Group speech therapy sessions with a licensed LOUD Crowd speech therapist to support communication needs.
- A weekly chorus group, which performs quarterly concerts for our community.
- Our caregivers meet multiple times a month for breakfast, lunch, coffee, and virtual support via Zoom.
- We share weekly education and resources from national Parkinson’s foundations, ensuring members stay informed.
- Our strong, supportive member community watches out for each other, ensuring no one faces their journey alone.
