THOUGHTS R LIFE is a clothing line consisting of shirts, sweaters and hoodies designed by Hilary Vanderliek. Hilary began experiencing symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) at the age of 12 and was officially diagnosed in her early twenties. Soon after, she began to experience Parkinson's related panic attacks. These attacks motivated her to seek out resources to help manage her symptoms. She found out about Parkinson Society BC through a Google search, and connected with one of the Society's clinical counsellors to help her regain control of her panic attacks. Now, Hilary would like to give back to Parkinson Society BC so that others can access counselling as well as a range of services and resources.

Why THOUGHTS R LIFE?

Hilary explains, "If you don’t have control of your thoughts, you lose control of your emotions and actions. Thoughts are powerful, so not allowing hatred or negativity in will change your perspective and you can be joyful even in unfortunate circumstances...The shirts say THOUGHTS R LIFE because I want to share the message that you can change your circumstance or your perspective if you change your thoughts" (Vanderliek, H., 2017).
