The WPC 2026 is just days away…. if you are going, here is what you need to know.

Monday at 11am, PD Avengers is organizing a photo of our members in attendance.
Join us at Table #4 outside the Exhibition Hall.
Be sure you download the APP - directions should have been emailed to you.
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.
PD Avengers still needs a few volunteers to man the table. Check it out and see if it fits with your schedule.

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.
