Trusted by the Parkinson’s community

“There is so much to know about Parkinson’s and so many resources from a multitude of places that it can be overwhelming. The Every Victory Counts manual is an up-to-date resource from a trusted organization that can be helpful at the time of diagnosis and also referred to over and over again as time goes on.”

Jane Bradley

Person Living with Parkinson’s

“The Every Victory Counts Manual is truly the Parkinson’s Bible. I make sure that every patient I see with Parkinson’s receives one to address all of the motor and non-motor symptoms they may experience as a comprehensive reference manual. It has so much to offer backed by the latest research available. I have received amazing feedback at how invaluable it has been for everyone that has it.”

Jayme Brindle, MScPT

“The Every Victory Counts manual was a lifeline when I was tentatively diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson’s and waiting to see a specialist. It helped me understand why my body wasn’t working the way it used to—and it gave me the confidence to take action with exercise, medication, rest, diet, balance, and a strong care team.”

Sharon Jackson

Person Living with Parkinson’s

“I keep a copy of the Every Victory Counts manual in my truck at all times. Whether I’m meeting someone newly diagnosed, visiting a Movement Disorder Specialist’s office, or attending a Parkinson’s event, I bring it with me and share it with anyone who could benefit. I often call it the ‘encyclopedia of Parkinson’s.’ It’s everything you wish you had time to ask your doctor, all in one place.”

Sherry Vigliotti

Parkinson’s Program Director

“The Every Victory Counts manual includes everything you need to know about the motor and non-motor symptoms you may experience with Parkinson’s, but it also contains invaluable and incredibly rich information about emotional health, exercise, the importance of connecting, and various other topics that I’d write down on my prescription pad if I could. Use this manual as much as you can to create the optimal circumstances for yourself!”

Bas Bloem, MD

“Let this book be a helpful companion on your Parkinson’s path. Together, we can redefine what it means to live well with Parkinson’s. Remember, it’s not just about surviving; it’s about being fully alive — with purpose, connection, and joy — one victory at a time.”

Davis Phinney

“I appreciate the manual’s fundamental perspective, which is to empower people to live well with Parkinson’s today. I routinely recommend this manual to my patients, whether they are newly diagnosed or have been living with Parkinson’s for years.”

Aaron Hauge, MD
