Diagnose Parkinson

Diagnose Parkinson is the personal platform of Stefan Ganse, an Oldenburg-born former German Air Force fighter pilot and Lufthansa flight instructor who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2020. Drawing on his experience, Ganse shares information about the condition and documents the activities he pursues while living with it. His central aim is to encourage people with Parkinson’s to stay engaged and not give up on themselves or life, guided by the motto “Anyone can do easy—let’s get going.”

The website offers introductory information about Parkinson’s, including its definition, diagnosis and therapy, alongside blog posts and news about related events, inclusion and community initiatives. It also highlights activities such as sport, horse riding, running, cooking and PingPongParkinson. Visitors can find information about seminars and island-based programs, including table tennis events, a yoga retreat and a flight-safety course for passengers, with availability and plans varying by offering. Through personal stories, practical resources and activities, Diagnose Parkinson promotes awareness, motivation and participation for people affected by the disease and their communities.
