Why should you support the Parkinson’s Exercise and Wellness Center?

To provide memberships

Your donations lower the cost of memberships and remove the financial barrier that some Fighters may face. Recurring donations help to provide memberships to those who may not otherwise be able to afford one.

To grow our programs

We continue to explore methods and programs that will benefit our Fighters. Your donations contributed to many programs now being offered including, PARTE™, Stick Mobility, Reformer Pilates and Urban Poling. Continued funding helps build the best programs for PD Fighters.

To reach more people

PD is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's, and its incidence increases with age. Through your generous giving, our exposure grows in Kansas City and more PD Fighters and caregivers will hear about the importance of exercise as a vital part of their Parkinson’s treatment and wellness plan.

"There are thousands of people who still need to know about exercise and PD, about the amazing hope that is found when you’re surrounded by a community, and those that know very little about the disease. In order for us to reach those people, we need to expand our programs. We need to expand our outreach to these places. And we really can’t do that without financial support.”

-Sarrisa Curry, Co-Founder and CEO, Parkinson’s Exercise and Wellness Center
