Lori DePorter lives in York, PA, with her husband, Mike. Lori is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to Parkinson’s, but empowering others is her mission. A Young-Onset Parkinson’s Diagnosis in 2014 changed the trajectory of the DePorter Family. With her family’s support, Lori became an advocate for Parkinson’s awareness and education. Through writing, music, exercise, and wellness, she empowered others, while also empowering herself. Lori was a caregiver for her father with Alzheimer’s who died on December 28, 2025. That experience and her progression, have changed the game, but not Lori’s passion to stay in it. Now, she’s joined by her teammate, Mike, who adds the carepartner perspective. As advocates, they encourage all patients and carepartners to find their voice and be heard.
