Help Create a Community of Hope
Your support and contributions will help enable people with Parkinson's, and their caregivers, to live out each day with a sense of passion, purpose, and normalcy.
When you combine hope with joy, you get ignition. With ignition, you can do anything"
Dr. Tom House
MLB Player, Coach, PhD, & Person w/Parkinson's
If you’ve ever heard of a quarterback changing his throwing motion mid-season… or a pitcher turning to neuroscience for an edge… there’s a good chance Tom House was behind it.
Tom’s story starts in the bullpen—literally. A Major League Baseball pitcher for nearly a decade, he earned his stripes with the Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox. But his real calling was never just throwing a ball—it was understanding human potential.
Parkinson’s Disease is humbling.
It outs you.
It freezes you.
It shakes you.
It makes you want to give up.
But don’t give in.
Get up and out of bed each day.
Get your body moving.
Have a to do list.
Check things off.
Socialize, don’t isolate.
Build your tribe.
Do your homework.
Everyday has challenges.
But everyday is a step closer.
Hope is out there.
Joy is in here.
Once ignited, there’s nothing we can’t do.
