Supporting Rise Above Parkinsons Inc.
Rise Above Parkinsons Inc is a local, public 501c3 organization based in Trinity, Florida. It provides much-needed assistance to Florida’s Tampa Bay area residents living with Parkinson’s Disease.
In addition to the 90,000 people nationwide who are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease each year, Florida has the highest percentage of people afflicted with Parkinson’s. The disease does not discriminate by age, race or gender.
Rise Above Parkinsons helps local Floridians battling Parkinson’s afford the medications, therapies, assistive devices, and more that can greatly improve quality of life, allowing them to live as safely and independently as possible. Their assistance provides much needed relief to both the patient and the patient’s loved ones.
The organization is 100 percent volunteer-run, so nearly every dollar goes directly to the Florida Parkinson’s community.
Thank you for joining us and supporting our mission.
