Mollie Lombardi, — 
Mollie Lombardi is a columnist for Parkinson’s News Today. In 2013, at the age of 36, she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Six years later, she underwent brain surgery to implant a Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) device that now helps manage her symptoms. She writes about the challenges of young-onset PD, including working full-time, traveling, and navigating the joys of being a wife, daughter, auntie, sister, and friend. Her column, The Unshakable Optimist, is about not letting the tremors of life get you down and the benefits of a positive attitude when battling a chronic illness every day.
