Convention Focus
MHEDA’s 2021 Convention & Exhibitor Showcase is Aug. 11-14 at the JW Marriott in Austin. New this year for MHEDA’s Convention is the combination of the Exhibitor Showcase with the “main stage” ballroom where we will gather for our keynote presentation, meals and mini-workshops. Having many of the convention programs all in one room will capture the human energy we have all missed from being apart for so long. The 2021 Exhibitor Showcase will be a two-part, all tabletops event (which will take place over the dates of Aug. 12-13) giving exhibitors more time to network with MHEDA distributors. More details available soon! If you want to know more about the Exhibitor Showcase, please click on the link below to fill out this form and we'll email you as soon as it is available. News You Can Use
On Jan. 1, Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act, which included the Corporate Transparency Act (the CTA). The CTA now requires many businesses to file a report with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Treasury Department, identifying certain biographical information about its owners. The purpose of the CTA is to assist national security, intelligence, and law enforcement efforts to counter money laundering, the financing of terrorism, and other illicit activity. Deadline to file is Jan. 1, 2022.

On the Bright Side
For years, Dan Schoenthal had in the back of his mind that he wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail. That goal took on a new sense of urgency after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2015. He hiked part of the 2,200-mile trail last year, just to see whether he could do it -- and now, six years after his diagnosis, Schoenthal is aiming to hike the rest.
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects nearly one million Americans, according to the Parkinson's Foundation. It's the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, behind only Alzheimer's disease. Parkinson's patients typically experience a tremor, slowness of movement, stiffness, or gait and balance problems. But many can still live a full life. "A diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is not a death sentence," Dr. James Beck, senior vice president and chief scientific officer of Parkinson's Foundation, told CNN. "It is a disease people struggle with over time, but it is one that people can still live their lives with." There is no cure for Parkinson's, but there are medications to help patients deal with symptoms. Exercise is also recommended to help patients maximize their quality of life. Schoenthal, 56, told CNN that when he was diagnosed, his neurologist stressed to him that exercising was just as important as, if not more important than, his medication. All the more reason, he says, to get on the trail now.
