Ryan Reynolds, Actor, Entrepreneur, and Parkinson's Advocate

If I’ve learned one thing in the last few years about Parkinson’s, it’s that this disease doesn’t care who you are – and often, the only thing connecting people living with it is the disease itself. Imagine my surprise then, to form a common bond with someone I never thought I’d even meet, let alone become friends with. (Ok friends is a strong word here…ha! but let’s go with it).

I’m so happy to share my conversation with Ryan Reynolds about our shared experiences with this disease, but also our collective commitment to raising awareness about it and specifically some of the more challenging aspects and symptoms. Ending stigma about Parkinson’s is vitally important to improving the lives of those of us facing it every day.

I am grateful to Ryan for using his platform to help do this and look forward to continuing to chat and hopefully do our part to change the course of Parkinson’s as best as two Canadian kids from the 80s can. Well, I guess three if you count that other guy. ;)
