WHAT SHOWING UP FOR EACH OTHER LOOKS LIKE
“Even on tough days, the only time I feel good is when I’m on the pickleball court. It’s almost magical, and I’m so grateful Pickleball for Parkinson’s exists.”

“P4P is an amazing organization with lovely volunteers and organizers. Pickleball has provided my husband a sport that helps with his mobility and activity level. As a caregiver, the joy I feel in watching my husband enjoy himself, while playing pickleball is beyond measure. Not to mention, twice a week I get to enjoy a 2-hour break in some lovely neighborhoods. I am grateful and thankful for P4P.”

“It’s amazing to see everyone’s reaction times improve. Most recently, a new player joined us and one day it was like something just clicked. We were working on transitioning from the baseline to the kitchen, and suddenly this player was running & laughing. I couldn’t believe it. The impact of this program is inspiring.”
