Sandra Alexander, husband diagnosed at 40
- On October 1, 2024
Why I joined and what does it mean to be part of C-OPN ?
As a caregiver to my husband who has lived with Parkinson’s since he was 40 years of age I wanted to be more involved on a national level. I have worked with PSBC since he was officially diagnosed and continue to volunteer locally.
I put my application to join C-OPN to be part of moving forward with research on Parkinson’s and to gain a better understanding of the effects/outcomes of the research being done in Canada.
Also to gain more information on what is being done on the world wide basis, through the world conferences.
Enjoy hearing from the students and professors in the research projects that are being conducted and how it can impact the people living with the disease and their caregivers.
Also have met some amazing and fabulous people living with Parkinson’s and their journey.
