When Derek was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2018, he and his wife, Bonnie, were faced with a life-changing question:
“How do we tell our kids?”
That moment sparked more than a personal journey—it inspired a mission to build something for others navigating Parkinson’s: a place rooted in support, connection, and community.
With decades of leadership experience in global finance, philanthropy, and advocacy, Derek and Bonnie combined their talents to launch the Parkinson’s Wellness Foundation (PWF)—a space where individuals with Parkinson’s and their families can find the care, resources, and human connection they deserve.
Their story is one of resilience, purpose, and building a life beyond diagnosis.
