Introduction and Purpose

We are a Young Onset Parkinsons Disease (YOPD) support group. Our active membership hovers around 18, made up of parkies and care-providers. We are "young onset" technically because the majority of us parkies were diagnosed with the disease prior to age 60. We don't pay much attention to age because "young onset" is a state of mind more than anything else. All are welcome.

The group meets the 3rd Sunday of each month 1:00-3:00pm, usually at a member’s home. Contact Dana Hodgkins (207-839-7951) or Susan Withington (207-725-0035) for more information and the next month’s meeting location.

The purpose of this blog is to share information, experiences, and knowledge.... which is power... the power to control and win over this progressive neurological disease.
