Positive Living with PD

View(s):

‘Positive Living with PD’ is a secular, non-profit support group, that hopes to break through the stigma that surrounds Parkinson’s Disease (PD), and uplift the quality of life for all people living with PD, their care-givers and their families.

Seeing that there was no avenue for people living with PD and their families to share their experiences, gain fresh insights into the latest developments in science and PD, and most importantly, positively influence and impact one another’s lives, a family living with PD, decided to start this community. Their first meeting will be held on Friday, May 6 at 6.30 p.m. at the Sared Heart Church Hall, Rajagiriya and all are welcome to join.

They hope to meet once a month, to share experiences, exchange the latest updates/news on PD, discuss ways to enrich the lives of people living with PD and their families and form a supportive community. Each meeting will be followed by light refreshments and interaction.

As ‘Positive Living with PD’is a non-profit, they will rely 100% on donations which will be used for:

- Booking of venue (i.e. community/church hall)

- Purchasing refreshments

And ideally in the future, to;

- Subsidise travel expenses for community members travelling from long distances

- Subsidise medication and related costs for community members in need of financial support

For more information, please call on 0777-441420 / 0777-441320, or email them atpositivelivingwithpd@gmail.com to subscribe to their mailing list.
