Living Fully, Bravely, and Purposefully on the Journey with Parkinson's.
Welcome to Janie's Journey. For fourteen long years, Jane Pinho lived with symptoms without answers, a frustrating and isolating experience that finally ended with a Parkinson's diagnosis. Her long road to understanding is the heart and inspiration behind this space.
This is her story, but in it, we hope you find your own. Whether you are navigating the first steps of a diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or have been living with Parkinson's for years, her journey becomes your journey. Here, we will share vital resources on how to diagnose, practical ways to cope with daily challenges, and the inspiration needed to live a full and meaningful life with this disease.
Our journey doesn't stop at support; it extends to finding a cure. We are proud to have teamed up with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, a global leader in the fight for a cure. You can help the cause and accelerate critical research by donating through our partnership. Together, we can turn this journey of hope into a future without Parkinson's.

Jane, Good morning Warrior Star! Your presentation was so powerful last night for our 2ND ACT series at the Palace Theater in Waterbury, CT!! Your dream team Rob and Tom, along with your Dr, Michelle Diagostine, did a fabulous job with the video & live portions of the presentation!! As the mother of 2 sons like you, it's obvious yours adore you. And Paul, your supportive fiancee... he's a keeper! You are both blessed to have found one another!! Hope you know what an impact you made and will be making going forward. We can never truly know the reason why, but you have turned the many twists in your life path, into one to bless others. May God continue to bless and guide Janie's Journey. 🫂🙏❤️
