Anna Grill is the driving force behind the Young Onset Parkinson’s Network (YOPN). She was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease (YOPD) at 38 while excelling in her career and juggling family life. After keeping her condition a secret for a decade, Anna publicly disclosed her diagnosis and noticed a lack of YOPD resources. This inspired her to create a community and provide support for those with YOPD in a positive environment. Anna is an advocate, a Parkinson’s Foundation volunteer, and an Ambassador for Supernus Pharmaceuticals, residing in Northern Virginia with her family.
