Richard Mayede | Director

Richard Mayede is a filmmaker, who produced 2 seasons of episodes of his documentary, "This is Parkinson's". He was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease in 2005, and from that point forward he was determined to be a source of positivity and encouragement. He first became involved with Dancing with Parkinson's as a dancer, and later wanted to do more because of the benefits he saw from dancing. That's when it struck him to volunteer as a board member and help shape the organization's future. He is also a volunteer board member of the Parkinson Society of British Columbia, and is also on the Parkinson Community Advisory Committee of Canadian Parkinson Open Network.
