Dear John,

In 1980 Martha and the Muffins became a household name when their
breakthrough single, "Echo Beach" reached worldwide
audiences, resonating with listeners who, too, felt stuck in the
proverbial rut of unfulfilling careers and dreamed their days away
thinking of places they'd rather be. Fast forward to the
present, and you'll still find M+M founding members Martha
Johnson and Mark Gane pumping out new albums (including a Juno
Award-winning children's album), scoring Canadian movies and TV
series, and much more. 

Martha's 2000 Parkinson's diagnosis positioned the
groundbreaking band to be advocates for the Parkinson's
community while continuing to create and perform their music. It also
opened the door for a unique collaboration that resonates with the
Parkinson's community and beyond. Their soulful new song about
how it feels to live with Parkinson's and their powerful story
about just what went into bringing that song to life with a musical
ensemble from the Parkinson's community is a testament to the
determination, personal growth and beauty that everyone can
experience if you're brave enough to step outside of your
comfort zone. 

Join us on Wednesday, April 17 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 noon

as Martha and the Muffins founders Martha Johnson and Mark Gane join
us along with the rest of the Musicians and Backing Vocalists (Brian
Anthony, Peter Armstrong, Ross Breithaupt, Fabio Dwyer, Dr. Alfonso
Fasano, Dr. Soania Mathur and Carol Patterson) to discuss their new
song about living with Parkinson's, "Slow Emotion."
We'll get some behind-the-scenes glimpses of Martha and
Mark's creative process, learn how the musical ensemble came to
be, and hear from the individual singers about the dual impact of
living with Parkinson's and working together to record the
song.  

Of course, you'll get to hear "Slow Emotion"
too!

March Webinar - WebSocial

During our March 20 webinar, "Food for Thought:
Parkinson's, Nutrition & Culinary Medicine," Dr. Erin
Presant answered questions about protein and Levodopa, if there is a
'Parkinson's diet,' if there are certain foods or
supplements that can help increase brain power and energy levels
- or even help manage symptoms, and much more. She also showed
us how to make some simple and fun nutritional changes with an
engaging food preparation/cooking demo.
