Have you lost your ‘get up and go’? Apathy and Impulsivity can be very puzzling and challenging non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s. Loss of motivation and lack... of enthusiasm and interest can make a significant impact in the daily lives of those living with Parkinson's, as well as their family members and loved ones. Join us on Tuesday January 26, 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT Dr. Zurowski will be walking us through the non-motor symptoms of Apathy and Impulsivity and sharing his expertise on: What is this?

Paul Mazerolle is from Rexton, NB, and has lived with Parkinson's disease for 20 years. He has a passion for writing and shared this beautiful and touching son...g he had written to his wife, Joanne, to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. Joanne shares "Paul being a musician and poet, he wanted to show me his love through music and poetry! I was quite impressed as a teenager!!The Covid pandemic gave him the time to ask my son, Denis, to record this song using his musical talents. He worked on it for two weeks! When Paul offered me the new version to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary, we were both quite emotional and very proud of our son! Therefore, I am now quite impressed with Paul and our son!" Thank you so much to the Mazerolle's for sharing their story and for bringing us some hope, inspiration, and a nice sprinkling of love...
