Debbie Lucchesi transitioned from a long retail career to become a personal trainer after 2008. In 2013, she received a life-altering Parkinson's disease diagnosis, which initially felt overwhelming. Her experience highlights the challenges faced by those diagnosed with neurodegenerative disorders. Lucchesi recently spoke to Bayer employees about her journey and the necessity for awareness around Parkinson's. Bayer is conducting research on potential treatments for the disease and partnered with Lucchesi to support initiatives like Moving Day San Francisco, aimed at raising funds and awareness for Parkinson's disease.
"When I received my diagnosis, it was overwhelming. You expect one thing, and then you're faced with such a big challenge all at once."
"Learning about Parkinson's on Google can be alarming due to the wide variety of symptoms, which can include mobility issues and cognitive impairments."
