The Victory Summit® Virtual Event: YOPD
On June 26, 2021, we held The Victory Summit® Virtual Event: YOPD, shining the spotlight on people living with young onset Parkinson’s disease (YOPD). All of the speakers offered knowledge, wisdom, and above all, the message that your life is not over because you have Parkinson’s; it is just the start of something new.
