PD Gladiators

PD Gladiators is a local nonprofit organization that promotes the role of exercise in slowing the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD), a debilitating neurological condition that affects over 1 million Americans, 13,000 in metro Atlanta alone. Using a two-pronged approach to promoting exercise, PD Gladiators provides a network of community-based exercise programs for people with PD as well as education and outreach to the medical community about the emerging body of research indicating that exercise can actually change the brain and have a positive impact on PD symptoms.
