Susan is a woman who was diagnosed with PD in 2015. They’ve both made award-winning films about their experiences with PD and are now co-founders of the non-profit, YAX! – www.yesandexercise.com.
The mission of YAX! is to provide a safe, fun and kind place for people with and affected by Parkinson’s disease to connect, empower and enhance their lives through improvisation.
That’s right: improvisation. We play – mostly online so we can get as many people as we can from as many places as we can. We do not charge. We do accept donations from those who wish to pay it forward.Â
