About The Oxx Foundation
- We Are Stronger Together -
Our MISSION is to cultivate a compassionate, connected community through advocacy, education, and trauma-informed care. We support individuals and families navigating the challenges of Parkinson’s disease by creating safe spaces for healing, sharing, and belonging.
Through community-driven programs, storytelling, and systemic advocacy, we strive to amplify unheard voices, reduce stigma, and foster equity in access to care and support. We believe that meaningful change begins with empathy — and that together, we can create a world where no one feels invisible in their struggle.
Our VISION is for a world where resources are available and groundbreaking research leads to a cure for Parkinson’s disease and every individual thrives in trauma-informed environments that nurture resilience, compassion, and lifelong well-being.
We VALUE Growth, Resilience, Compassion, Determination and Support.
Our Founder
“On March 11, 2020, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. The past few years have been challenging, but with the help of my amazing family and friends, I feel lucky every day. During this time I have also learned more about my family's medical history and the people who I share this disease with. Since my diagnosis, I have been determined to help every person diagnosed with Parkinson's live their best possible life.”
