I am Stepping up for Parkinson's this May.

This May, I’m stepping up for Parkinson’s—because it’s not just a cause to me, it’s my everyday life. My husband Troy and my dad Keith are both living with Parkinson’s, each facing their own quiet battles, and my grandad faced it before them.

I’ve seen how much more Parkinson’s is than tremors. It slowly takes pieces of the people you love—their ease, their independence, their energy—while you stand beside them wishing you could take it away. Being a carer, a partner, a daughter… it can feel helpless and heartbreaking in ways that are hard to put into words.

So I’m stepping up—for them, for the moments we’ve lost, and for hope that one day no family has to watch the people they love go through this.
