At Fite For Your Write, we are dedicated to empowering individuals with Parkinson's disease through the transformative power of writing. Our therapist-owned company crafts unique writing challenges designed to inspire creativity and boost confidence among warriors facing this condition.
Hi, I’m Alicia Artz, a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, and my passion is to help individuals achieve their best possible quality of life. Since 2016, I’ve been working with seniors and the Parkinson’s community on the challenges they face that often go unaddressed—like Micrographia.
In April 2024, I decided to launch a Parkinson’s Support Group, offering resources and support for Parkinson’s warriors and their caregivers. Having witnessed the need for targeted solutions, I combined my physical therapy expertise with my passion for making a difference, building a specialized program aimed at helping individuals navigate the challenges of Micrographia.
Based in Bradenton, FL, my mission is to empower my clients to regain confidence and independence through education, support, and innovative strategies.
Hi! I’m Jennifer (Jenn) and I have over 25 years of experience as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA). I have dedicated my career to helping individuals with Parkinson’s disease overcome the challenges of daily life. In 1997, I began my journey in occupational therapy, and in recent years, co-founded FITE for your Write with a focus on supporting those struggling with micrographia—the handwriting difficulty often associated with Parkinson's.
My passion lies in empowering clients to regain confidence and independence in their daily activities, particularly when it comes to maintaining their ability to write. Through specialized techniques such as positioning, tailored exercises, and adaptive equipment, I’ve seen firsthand how small changes can lead to big improvements in my clients’ lives.
Driven by the belief that everyone deserves to live life to the fullest, I work tirelessly to help Parkinson’s warriors take back control of their writing and overall independence.
Your voice matters, and we believe everyone has a story to tell. With the right tools and community, you can conquer the writing challenges posed by Parkinson's Disease. Let's embark on the journey together!

Monthly Parkinson’s Community Circle
The Parkinson’s Community Circle is a welcoming, supportive space designed for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease, their care partners, families, and friends. Proudly sponsored by HomeWell Care Services, this monthly gathering focuses on education, connection, and access to valuable community resources.
Meetings are held on the 4th Monday of every month from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM at Legends of Sarasota and feature a rotating guest speaker each month. Presentations highlight topics that support the Parkinson’s community, including health, wellness, safety, daily function, and available local resources.
This month, FITE For Your Write joins the Community Circle as the featured speaker, sharing insight and practical tools to support handwriting and fine motor challenges commonly experienced with Parkinson’s.
Whether you are newly diagnosed, a long-time PD warrior, or a caregiver seeking support and education, the Parkinson’s Community Circle offers a compassionate environment to learn, connect, and grow together.
This educational lecture is designed for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease as well as those affected by other neurological disorders that impact handwriting and fine motor control. Micrographia—small, cramped, or changing handwriting—is a common but often under-addressed challenge that can affect daily tasks, independence, and quality of life.
During this interactive session, FITE For Your Write will explain what micrographia is and why it occurs, while sharing practical strategies to improve handwriting size and clarity. Participants will also learn simple tools and exercises that support fine motor skills beyond handwriting, with techniques that can be applied to everyday activities.
This lecture is ideal for Parkinson’s patients, individuals with other neurological conditions, caregivers, and community members seeking education, resources, and functional strategies in a supportive environment.
