A lifelong Oregon resident, Sherryl is certified as master trainer, Qigong instructor, and  specific to PD: Tai Chi Moving for Better Balance and Delay the Disease. She's also an active PD resource on social media. Sherryl has been deeply affected by PD, caring for her father from the time he was diagnosed shortly after his retirement until his passing.  Sherryl and her father were on the forefront of the "exercise is medicine" approach now common with  Parkinson's  disease.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Hannington, a food scientist by profession, was born and raised in Uganda, Africa, near the capital city of Kampala. His mother suffered from Parkinson's and passed away suffering not just from the disease, but the stigma that it was caused by Witchcraft. Hannington has worked to bring the myth to the forefront and dispel the suffering of those like his mother had to endure.

He is transitioning into a full-time director for the Si Buko operations after being awarded the Robin Elliot WORLD PARKINSON CONGRESS 2023 for community service.
 

Gavin lives in the Dallas, TX area with his two children. He was diagnosed with PD in 2008 at age 38. He switched life course in 2018, earned a personal trainer certification, founded Your Move Fitness, LLC, and jumped headfirst into connecting people with PD and appropriate exercise. He remains actively involved in PD causes, especially promoting exercise and lifestyle choices to counter the disease.
