Up ENDing Parkinson's has spent the last 1.5 years organizing and conducting one of the first studies on rock climbing and Parkinson's Disease in conjunction with Marymount University Center for Optimal Aging. During this time, we have also expanded to 3 additional climbing locations across the East, grown to over 85 climbers, hosted 4 outdoor climbing events, brought 11 climbers to Paraclimbing Nationals, and grown our community leaps and bounds.
