Parkinson Support & Wellness (PSW) is dedicated to empowering individuals in the Greater Cincinnati/Greater Dayton area who are living with Parkinson's disease. Our mission is threefold:
Education: We provide the latest information on treatments, research, and lifestyle adaptations through our educational events. Knowledge is power, and we believe that informed individuals can better manage their health.
Connection: PSW helps bridge the gap by connecting people to local resources, support groups, and exercise programs. We understand that community and shared experiences are essential for well-being.
Exercise, Grants and Programs: We offer financial grants to exercise programs specifically tailored to the needs of Persons with Parkinson Disease. These programs, supported by PSW, reach hundreds of people affected by Parkinson's weekly.
At PSW, we believe that all funds raised should stay within our community. When you participate in Steady Strides, your registration fee and donations directly benefit our neighbors, friends, and loved ones in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, Dayton, and Southeastern Indiana. We are a 501(c)3 organization committed to serving our local community.
Friends and family teams are the heartbeat of our event. These groups, united by a common connection to Parkinson's Disease, ensure that vital support services are available to their loved ones. Teams take on unique personalities, emphasizing fun and camaraderie. They also get competitive when it comes to the number of participants and funds raised!
Our teams extend beyond immediate and extended families. They reach out to their communities and social media networks, soliciting sponsors and raising awareness. Together, we amplify our impact and create a ripple effect of compassion and generosity.
