Pickleball for Parkinson's

My serves are questionable, but my commitment to the cause is not.

I am dedicating every session to the therapists who help people keep doing what they love.

I am playing for a neighbor whose optimism is stronger than my backhand.

I joined to make local support groups easier for newly diagnosed families to find.

Our club wanted its friendly rivalry to produce something more useful than bragging rights.

I joined to support exercise programs that help people stay active and connected.

My dad plays twice a week while living with Parkinson’s, and this challenge is his idea.

My doubles partner is a caregiver, so every match is for families like hers.

I am learning the game and raising funds each time the ball lands somewhere unexpected.

Research gave our family better options, and I want the next family to have even more.
