This two-day event is FREE for attendees and will feature some of the best and brightest minds in the world of Parkinson’s.
From discussions on the changing landscape of PD treatment to the benefits of exercise for people with PD, those who attend the APDA West Coast Parkinson’s Educational Forum will have the chance to gain important knowledge that can help them make educated decisions about their treatment plan along with exposure to helpful exercise options they may not have tried before.
Keynote speaker Allison Toepperwein will close out the weekend with her inspiring personal journey that lead her to compete on television’s American Ninja Warrior, despite a diagnosis of PD at 37 years of age.

“When I was diagnosed as a 37 year old, newly single mom, I had a choice to make — give up or gear up. With a beautiful four year old watching my every move, I chose to gear up and fight for the best life possible for us both!” states Toepperwien. “It’s so important to be well informed with current and reliable information about managing the disease, treatment options and how to work best with your medical team. The support of others in the PD community is also a key to success. The APDA West Coast Forum is exactly what people impacted by PD need, all in one place, and I’m so excited to be a part of it.”
