Hello Gorgeous!
In April of 2010, Allison Toepperwein was living in Austin, Texas giving birth to her daughter, when she noticed she had a tremor in her left hand. Eight months later in December 2010, in North Carolina, Steven Eury was filming the birth of his son, when he noticed he had a tremor in his right hand. These two strangers were in separate marriages, 1100 miles apart. Steven was diagnosed the following year with Young Onset Parkinsons Disease (YOPD). It wasn't for 4 1/2 more years, and 2 1/2 months after Allison’s divorce, before she was diagnosed with YOPD.
Allison went on to become the first person with Parkinson’s to compete on the hit TV show American Ninja Warrior. She started blogging, motivational speaking, and advocating for single moms, women, and young adults with diseases. In May of 2020, Allison dated for six long years and was disgusted with the dating pool, so she decided to give it up and give it to God. She wrote a prayer on a piece of paper that said, “I no longer wish to look for my soulmate. Instead I give you my soul as you prepare it and my mate. I know you are preparing him for me. Until then, I will only seek you.”
Four days later, a newly divorced Steven bought property on a street named Allison. He was going to build a house and start a new life with his kids and dog named Allie.
In August of 2020, a friend sent Steven a blog post written by a stranger named Allison, who wrote about "Dating With Parkinson’s". Steven felt drawn to reach out to her. Two months later the pair met in October 2020. Two years later, the couple married. Now, the two live on Allison’s street with Steven’s dog he got in 2016 named Allie and their three kids, a cat, a bunny, and new puppy.
They are #InLoveWithParkinsons.
