LORI DePORTER
A Voice for Parkinson's Education & Advocacy
Welcome to my website. A Parkinson’s diagnosis and the quest for information can be overwhelming. This site is intended to provide resources for those whose lives have been touched by Parkinson’s - People with Parkinson’s, care partners, friends, or anyone wanting to learn about it.
There is something for everyone - scroll down and explore!!
"We didn't choose the music, but we can choose to dance like no one is watching." Lori DePorter
ABOUT me
My journey with Parkinson's started in December 2014. I was 45, a wife and mother - I couldn't have Parkinson's, but I did...we did. It was not MY diagnosis - it was OURS, and the DePorter Family began its journey with Young Onset Parkinson's.
Life changed, and we changed with it, especially me. I became a Parkinson's advocate for education and exercise. My passion is empowering others to live their best lives.
Explore my site. You will see you are not alone on this journey. Life is different, but it is still good.

Something to think about
Music is dinner for the soul , and dancing is the dessert. We are so hung up on our lives being neat and orderly, we forget to appreciate the unexpected.
