Do not overbook. WPC fatigue is real.
Phoenix in May is hot. Electronics and batteries drain faster than people expect.

WPC is emotionally and physically intense:
- huge walking distances
- overstimulation
- inconsistent meals
- dehydration
- emotional conversations
- adrenaline crashes
Phoenix heat adds another layer.
Build decompression time into your trip.
Hallway conversations are just as valuable as the sessions.

New Report: Parkinson’s Now Costs the U.S. $82 Billion a Year — And Rising Fast

A new report from The Michael J. Fox Foundation delivers a sobering message: Parkinson’s disease is not just a health crisis — it's an economic one.

The report estimates that Parkinson’s disease and related conditions now cost the United States $82.2 billion every year. And if current trends continue, that number is expected to reach $112.4 billion by 2045.

Let that sink in.

Parkinson’s isn’t just growing.
It’s accelerating — and the cost is rising with it.
