Today, across the globe, people are being impacted by COVID-19, causing not only illness, but also uncertainty and fear. With April being Parkinson’s Awareness month, we're sharing the inspirational stories of PD Warriors who are breaking barriers despite their diagnosis to spread a little positivity during this challenging time. These warriors recently shared their stories with More Than Motion, UCB’s community dedicated to raising awareness of the realities of living with Parkinson's disease (PD), and we're honored to feature them this month.
