OUR WHY
In 2018, founders Wendy Chase and Rob Spalding set out on a deeply meaningful mission fueled by their unwavering determination to make a real impact in the fight against Parkinson's. Their inspiration is a blend of personal experiences with Parkinson's within their own families and their careers in the pharmaceutical and biotech fields.
Wendy's mother (photo to the right), Sue Chase, symbolized strength and courage as she confronted Parkinson's, although she tragically lost her battle. Before her passing, Sue shared one heartfelt wish with Wendy: "Never give up" on raising funds to find a cure, ensuring that others wouldn't have to endure the same suffering. On the other side, Rob's aunt has been courageously battling Parkinson's for over a decade.
Wendy and Rob aren't just advocates; they're passionate champions of finding a cure, refusing to settle for mere symptom management.
