“If it's not PD, what is it? --an Overview of the Atypical Parkinsonism Syndromes.” --Robin Riddle, Coordinator, Parkinson's Information & Referral Center, Stanford
Robin Riddle learned about neurodegenerative decline when her late father, Larry, was diagnosed with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) in 2004. With the help of three other caregivers in July 2004, Robin started the “San Francisco Bay Area Atypical Parkinsonism Support Group”. This group became Brain Support Network(brainsupportnetwork.org) and focuses on education and support for PSP, multiple system atrophy, corticobasal degeneration, and Lewy body dementia.
The donation of Larry’s brain in 2007 to the Mayo Clinic was Robin’s first organization of a brain donation. She and BSN have now helped over 500 families donate a loved one's brain. Since 2009, Robin has worked as the Parkinson's Information & Referral Center director at Stanford University, providing info to those with PD and their caregivers throughout Northern and Central California. She also coordinates several monthly PD support groups near Stanford.
