SUMMARY:Dopamine Dance Against PD - Parkinson’s Can’t Stop Me From Dancing!
DESCRIPTION:When Barbara Salsberg Mathews tweeted a video of herself dancing on February 25\, 2023\,\nshe didn’t expect to receive such an amazing response. Within just a few short days\, her tweet\n“Parkinson’s Disease can’t stop me from dancing” had received over 15\,000 views. \nEven more amazingly\, many other people living with Parkinson’s began replying by posting\nvideos of themselves dancing. What started as an optimistic and defiant tweet against PD had\nbecome a mini-internet sensation. This gave Barbara an idea. Together\, with founding PD\nAvenger member\, Richelle Flanagan\, Dopamine dance against PD was born. \nTo raise awareness about Parkinson’s and World Parkinson’s Day you’re invited to participate\nonline. We’re asking everyone to boost their dopamine and dance against Parkinson’s for the\nweek leading into World Parkinson’s Day on April 11. Help raise awareness of the fastest\ngrowing neurological condition affecting 10 million people\, 40% of whom are women and 30%\nunder the age of 60. Help break the stigma of Parkinson’s and take a video of yourself busting\nout your greatest dance moves and post them on social media starting on April 3 until World\nParkinson’s day on April 11. \nDance is a powerful form of self-expression and has been linked to benefits for people living\nwith Parkinson’s disease. Be sure to share your video using the tags #dopaminedancepd\n#dancepartypd and #dance4parkinsons starting on April 3 and encourage others to do the\nsame. \nBarbara says\, “Together let’s spread the message that Parkinson’s can’t stop us from dancing!” \nIf you’re looking for some inspiration\, take a peek at Barbara’s original tweet to see her dance\nmoves as well as some of the people who replied to her. \n“We hope that Dopamine Dance Against PD will raise awareness of Parkinson”s. There is still no\ndefinitive cause or cure for this disease. We must spark conversation\, spark action\, and spark a\nmovement. Together\, we can end Parkinson”s in our lifetime.” \n— Larry Gifford\, President PD Avengers \nFor more information\, or to book an interview\, please contact:\nBarbara Salsberg Mathews\, Cell: 416-565-2359\, salsbergmathews@gmail.com\nhttps://salsbergmathews.com Artwork provided by Barbara Salsberg Mathews

With violin as her first instrument\, Ally plays an eclectic mix of styles\, including classical violin\, klezmer\, Irish\, Newfoundland\, Greek\, bluegrass\, and old-time.
