The Parkinson Association of Alabama exists for one reason: to be there for individuals and families facing Parkinson’s across our state.

Our work spans everything from support groups to awareness efforts, from patient navigation to partnerships with top research centers. But at the heart of it all is a commitment to serve people—real people—right here in Alabama.

PAA had the incredible opportunity to attend the World Parkinson Congress (WPC), one of the most inspiring and impactful gatherings in the global Parkinson’s community. Bringing together researchers, healthcare professionals, advocates, care partners, and people living with Parkinson’s from around the world, the Congress provided an unmatched environment for learning, collaboration, and connection. The World Parkinson Congress is unique in its ability to unite the entire Parkinson’s community under one roof, fostering meaningful dialogue and shared experiences across all perspectives.

Recently, we proudly participated in the AMP Ride, an inspiring event that brought the community together to support the fight against neurological diseases. The AMP Ride offers participants the fun and excitement of riding stationary bikes outdoors while raising awareness and critical funds for organizations making a difference.

We were honored to join alongside supporters of The ALS Association, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, The Tanner Foundation, and others as teams rallied to create meaningful impact for individuals and families affected by neurological diseases. Every rider and every dollar raised helps move us closer to better support, research, and hope for those living with Parkinson’s and related conditions.

"Any little tidbit I can take home... it's a successful day."

Whether you are teaching a movement class, caring for a spouse, or living with Parkinson's yourself, our community has a place—and a resource—for you. Our latest Moving Forward brought together instructors learning gait analysis, families holding onto hope for a cure, and individuals tackling the challenges of Parkinson's.

We don't walk this path alone. No matter your role in the Parkinson's journey, you will find a supportive community, shared knowledge, and the exact tools you need to thrive.
