When Life Gives You Parkinson’s — from Corus Entertainment’s Curiouscast network — has partnered with the 2019 World Parkinson Congress.
Hosted by Larry Gifford, the special series launches Wednesday, February 27, highlighting the topics and speakers leading up to the summer event in Kyoto, Japan, and connecting its program to listeners around the world.
The show is built around Gifford examining the impact that a Parkinson’s diagnosis has on a person, a family, a friendship, a colleague, a company, and a community, as he shares his personal journey into what it is like to live and work with Parkinson’s disease as a 47-year-old husband and father with an active career.

“The World Parkinson Coalition is thrilled to work with Larry Gifford as he podcasts about the upcoming 5th World Parkinson Congress in Kyoto, Japan and highlights some of the incredible faculty members who will be speaking about the most germane and current scientific advances and clinical work taking place globally,” said Elizabeth “Eli” Pollard, Executive Director of the World Parkinson Coalition.
“The World Parkinson Congress and our podcast have similar missions; we both want to reach everyone touched by Parkinson’s including patients, researchers, family members, clinicians, nurses, and specialists,” said Gifford. “Combining our expertise in a WPC podcast series allows us both to share stories and research, discuss issues and provide access to the congress even if they can’t travel to Kyoto.”
