About Sparks for Life-
Sparks of Life is a non-profit organization founded by Rabbi Moshe Gruskin who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease back in 2009. At the time, it was hard to face the reality of what the future held. Unfortunately, within four years his symptoms had progressed and he found himself living life as an invalid. This prompted him to seek professional guidance and educate himself about the disease. Understanding the benefits of exercise, Rabbi Gruskin implemented a physical regimen that included simcha dancing in his basement every night. Today he looks and feels like a new man,and is passionate about creating awareness within the Jewish community to better the lives of those challenged with Parkinson’s. https://sparksoflifejcp.org

Approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with PD each year.
More than 10 million people worldwide are living with PD.
The incidence of Parkinson’s disease increases with age, but an estimated four percent of people with PD are diagnosed before age 50.
Men are 1.5 times more likely to have Parkinson's disease than women.
