Dear Lela, It’s Mother’s Day. Today, we reflect on the emotions this day evokes. For many, it’s a time to celebrate the special connection between mothers and children. However, we recognize that the emotions can run deep for those who have lost their mothers, have complicated relationships, or don’t have children. This Mother’s Day, we are showing love and respect to all types of motherhood. Looking for an impactful way to honor your mother? Make a tribute donation in her name.

GILBERT BLOG What We Know About Parkinson’s Disease In Women Parkinson’s impacts millions of people around the world, and it does not discriminate based on gender. But while PD affects men and women with some similarities, the manifestation, progression, and even treatment responses can differ significantly between genders, in addition to important discrepancies related to healthcare access and psychosocial factors that can impact quality of life.
