October Support Group Meeting: Looking Beyond the Diagnosis On Thursday, 29th October 2026, members and caregivers of the Adewunmi Desalu Parkinson’s Foundation came together for another insightful and engaging monthly support group meeting. The session began with opening remarks from Mr John Akinola, who shared valuable insights on Parkinson’s disease and the importance of continued support for persons living with the condition. We were also privileged to have Mr Joe Gregory, a Parkinson’s Warrior from the United Kingdom, who spoke on “Parkinson’s Challenges and New Opportunities: Looking Beyond the Diagnosis.” Drawing from his personal experiences, he encouraged members to embrace life beyond their diagnosis, explore new opportunities, pursue hobbies, and remain active. He also highlighted Walking Football as an avenue for physical activity, social connection, and improved well-being. The interactive session provided an opportunity for members to ask questions about the varying symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, personal experiences, and strategies for navigating everyday challenges. It was an inspiring gathering filled with shared experiences, encouragement, learning, and renewed hope. At ADPF, we remain committed to building a community where no one faces Parkinson’s alone. #ADPF #ParkinsonsAwareness #SupportGroup #LivingWithParkinsons #BeyondTheDiagnosis
