For our January 2025 meetup, we were pleased to welcome special guest Al Condeluci, a longtime advocate for inclusion. In our conversation, Al highlighted the importance of community connections for care partners of people living with Parkinson’s.

Al’s father had Parkinson’s, and Al’s experience as both a family member and a professional in social advocacy brought invaluable insights to our conversation.  

Our trusted panel is led by DPF co-founder Connie Carpenter Phinney, the care partner for her husband Davis. The panel also features two care partners, Gail Gitin and Pat Donahoo. Polly Dawkins, Executive Director of the Davis Phinney Foundation, moderated the meetup. 

If you haven’t already signed up to attend our sessions live, you can do so today.

Introduction and Excuse me!

Introduction and Excuse me!

Pardon me, while I get this social media enterprise working. It has taken me 12 months to get this far with this editorial labyrinth. My former pre Parkinson’s self would have had this whipped up in a week or two, reality changes ability, however I won’t let it kill...

They Call me Shuffles
