ABOUT THE EVENT As a Foundation, we find joy in sharing with our Parkinson’s community the latest news, treatments, advancements, and more. We love to connect with people around the world who live with Parkinson’s and introduce them to each other. Yet sometimes, what you need more than anything is to be seen and heard by others who are traveling a similar path. That’s what today’s event is all about. We’re turning over the stage to people with Parkinson’s for an event by people with Parkinson’s, for people with Parkinson’s. Our presenters are here to show you that it is possible to live well with Parkinson’s and tell you how they do that today and every day. |

|
The Victory Summit virtual event goes beyond the screen. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage with fellow people with Parkinson's, all from the comfort of your own home, using a computer. Plus, you’ll meet some of our Ambassadors who are available to support you at any time. Register to join us. Download the event agenda to learn more about sessions and speakers. |

May 2, 2022(1 event)9:30 am: Rock Steady Boxing - In-Person – Rock Steady Boxing gives people with Parkinson’s disease hope by improving their quality of life through a non-contact boxing based fitness curriculum. Exercises are largely adapted from boxing drills. Boxers condition for optimal agility, speed, muscular endurance, accuracy, hand-eye coordination, footwork, and overall strength to defend against and overcome opponents. At RSB, Parkinson’s disease is the opponent. Exercises vary in purpose and form but share one common trait: they are rigorous and intended to extend the perceived capabilities of the participant.If you are interested in joining Rock Steady Boxing, contact Lynnell at Advanced Rehab at406-752-7250 or lynnell@arspt.com

May 3, 2022(1 event)9:00 am: Tai Chi on Zoom – 
Tai Chi is a series of gentle physical exercises and stretches. Each posture flows into the next without pause, ensuring that your body is in constant motion. Tai chi is sometimes described as meditation in motion because it promotes serenity through gentle movements — connecting the mind and body. There are several studies that recognize a huge benefit for people with Parkinson's performing Tai Chi. Tai Chi is especially good for balance but also helps with strength, coordination, cognition, anxiety and many other motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's. Tai Chi can be done standing or sitting and is very gentle and easy on joints and muscles. The Zoom link to join this class (below) will be live 15 minutes before the start of class. Deb Davis, the instructor for this class has years of experience and makes this class achievable for all abilities. |
