Changing lives and bringing hope since 1980! 🌱

A lot has changed over the four decades we have been an organization, but our (grass)roots run deep. Check out this throwback to one of our printed newsletters from September 1981 when Parkinson's Resources was known as the "Willamette-Columbia Parkinsonian Society" or Will-Cope for short.

Built on countless hours of dedicated volunteers organizing support groups and sharing information about how to live well with Parkinson's, we honor their vision and work as we continue to grow services and programs today!

While most people understand that Parkinson's can impact balance and walking, we invite you to further explore the fascinating horizon of data collection and research around balance thanks to the work of Dr. Martina Mancini and the team of researchers at the OHSU Balance Disorders Laboratory!

Join us for Research Update: New Insights on Walking and Balance, a webinar exploring what new research is revealing about how we move, maintain balance, and stay steady on our feet. This presentation will feature exciting developments that were recently shared at the World Parkinson Congress in Phoenix, Arizona about the value of digital tools, such as wearable sensors, for measuring walking and daily activities.

Tuesday, September 15th, 2 pm PDT
On Zoom Webinar
Presented by Martina Macini, Ph.D., Co-Director of the Balance Disorders Lab and Associate Professor of Neurology, OHSU School of Medicine

đź’™ Sole Support is all about COMMUNITY, FAMILY & FRIENDS!

Our Team Captains play a huge role in making Sole Support a success. They're the cheerleaders, connectors, and champions who rally their teams and help bring our community together.

đź‘Ź Did you know that teams raised 62% of Sole Support's total revenue in 2025?

That's an incredible impact!

Team Captains are committed to the cause and passionate about supporting the work Parkinson's Resources does right here in our community. Their dedication, energy, and support are truly immeasurable.

To all of our Team Captains — THANK YOU for leading the way! 💙

Ready to start a team or join one? Let's make this year's Sole Support even stronger!
