Greater Charleston PD Exercise Newslettter Page 5 Parkinson’s Enhance Wellness Program The Roper St. Francis Healthcare system is now offering a FREE exercise program for Parkinson’s patients, funded by a Community Grant from the Parkinson’s Foundation. This program includes a one-year Gold membership in either the Lowcountry or Waring Senior Center. Exercise classes offered include Yoga, Tai chi, Move for Parkinson’s, and others. Also covered are health education classes. The program begins with a Wellness Screening and the initiation of a personalized Action Plan, developed in consultation with your personal Wellness Coach. To sign up for this wonderful opportunity for a free, customized exercise offering, please see the flyer on Page 10. It is critically important that we Parkys take advantage of offerings such as this, if we want to encourage the development of more local options at lower prices for PD patients. Dance for Parkinson’s with Whitney Goodman Whitney Goodman is pleased to offer her dance class for Parkys and their Care Partners in a special Holiday Edition. The classes will run at the MUSC Wellness Center on Tuesdays for four weeks from November 19 through December 10. If you want to have some fun, why not tap your way to better balance and movement (special shoes not required)! See the flyer on Page 10 and sign up today!

Greater Charleston PD Exercise Newslettter Page 6 Cane Bay YMCA wants to offer PWR! Exercise Classes for Parkys— needs funds for instructor training The new YMCA in the Cane Bay development on State Road in Berkeley County would like to add the Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery Program (PWR!) to its roster of exercise classes. In order to do that, it is looking for 1,600 in grant funds or donations to pay for instructor training and certification. The training is offered in Candler, NC on November 16-17, so there isn’t much time to raise the funds. If you would like to make a pledge: 1) Funds will be pledged to the Greater Charleston Parkinson’s Disease Support Group, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. 2) Please send pledge notification by e-mail to me at jayphillips@homesc.com or call me at 843-482-0254 for more information. 3) No actual payment is requested until we know that the full amount has been pledged and the instructors are registered for the training. 4) The Support Group will then ask that pledges be fulfilled and will make a grant to the YMCA for the documented registration cost. 5) Actual course offerings (schedule and cost) will depend on the level of interest in the program once classes are announced. If all of the funds needed are not raised in the next week or so, it is likely that the YMCA will seek a future grant from the Parkinson’s Foundation, and that will delay the instructor training and class start date.
