Comments from Richmond attendees:

  • “What is great about this program is that it is totally POSITIVE. It is encouraging and makes me feel hopeful.”
  • “Could not have been better!”
  • “The Event, both inspiring and educational, felt more like a close-knit family and less of a conference event. Having attended many Parkinson’s related events over my many years with this disease, I can tell you that the Phinney Victory Summit is a truly empowering and uplifting experience that educates and inspires its’ attendees. I highly suggest that if you or someone you love has Parkinson’s, that you look into coming to the next one.”
  • “Outstanding organization of the event – much more thoughtful of ALL needs of those with PD than other conferences I’ve attended. (Proximity of parking, timing of movement breaks, reminder one hour before lunch for medications…)”
  • “Thanks for a lovely conference. The exercises, encouragement and information were first rate. We drove 2 hours each way to get here, but it was worth it!”
  • “The availability of community information and support. I felt a strong sense of community.”
  • “Went to The Victory Summit in Richmond yesterday and it was AWESOME! Can’t even begin to describe how happy we were being there. THANK YOU for doing these!!!!!”
