Early signs can be subtle and often overlooked: • Tremors or shaking • Slowed movement • Muscle stiffness • Changes in balance or posture • Softer voice or changes in speech Awareness brings understanding, and understanding brings hope. This weekend, let’s stand together lifting one another up, spreading compassion, and honoring the strength behind every step.
