Meet the Founder.
Jack Keaney
"Nearly 4 months ago, my father was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease — a progressive neurological disorder that impairs movement and mood — leading to his development of a tremor, poor motor skills, and mental health issues. As I watched my father struggle, I made a promise to myself: that I would do everything in my power to help treat and bring awareness to this disease."
​
As a student at Boston College, studying Neuroscience, with a minor in Faith, Peace, and Justice, Jack has done just that. He is currently conducting a study with Hartford HealthCare, analyzing the effects of a multi-strain fiber on the gut microbiome and neurological symptoms associated with Parkinson's Disease.
​
Jack strongly believes in the integration of research, education, and advocacy to improve neurological health and care equity. He hopes one day to practice Neurology/Neurosurgery.
