Notes from the WPC

Notes from the WPC

Mr. Twitchy and I just returned from 5 warm days in Phoenix where we attended the World Parkinson Congress. We spent 4 jam-packed days withover 4000 of our closest friends and colleagues, where we got to see people we have only known through Zoom, spent time talking to hero’s from the Parkinson’s world and having a great time.

Twitchy Women showed up everwhere – I think we were the largest single group of people attending! Woo hoo! We took a lot of photos, some will be released on social media over the next few weeks. If you took photos and want to share with the group, please send them to twitchywoman18@gmail.com.

Since my PD brain has sstopped functioning, I will leave yoiu with just a few pics right now.

In case you were wondering, the next WPC is in……

Clinical Trials Corner

SEPTEMBER 2025

I’ve been hesitant to feature new clinical trials as a few that I had on my list to include in future columns have either been removed from the site or marked as withdrawn. Keeping my fingers crossed that the trials I feature continue to recruit and maintain their funding. Click here for the rest of the report from Jen

Thank You!

All Twitchy Women programs are free to all who participate. However, they are not without cost. It takes resources to continue our work and we cannot do it without your help. Through our partnership with the Parkinson’s Wellness Fund, those who want to provide support can do so. Thank you to all of you who have contributed. It is really appreciated.
