Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad.

Anna Brown Grill developed Young Onset Parkinson's Disease at the age of 38 at a time when she was living her best life- excelling in her career while successfully balancing the roles of wife and of mother to two girls who at the time were 9 and 7 years old.
She was leading a division of 110 associates, traveling from South Carolina to Delaware all while serving as PTA president at her girl's elementary school when she was diagnosed. There was clearly No time on her calendar for PD and while she started medication and care immediately, in all other aspects, she largely swept it under the carpet, keeping it mostly to herself and forging ahead with her activities.
She worked for 10 more years in her full time, stressful career all while managing to keep her illness undisclosed. It was not until she exited at age 48 that she fully disclosed her condition to her coworkers.
Since then, Anna has gone from hiding in the closet with her condition to becoming one of the most vocal advocates I know. She is very active with the Parkinson's Foundation and has served as the chair for the DC Moving Day event for the last four years.
Anna's first hand experience, and frustration with the lack of resources available specifically for young onset, prompted her to create a nonprofit organization specifically designed and targeted at supporting that community from a holistic perspective
