A Decade With Parkinson’s
On March 18th this year, I will be celebrating my 10th anniversary of being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. To me, this sounds ludicrous. The concept of time has a funny way of distorting your reality. It feels like it was just last week when I received horrific news from my Neurologist but at the same time, I can’t believe I’ve […]
Not Why Me?… But Try Me!

For example, I […]
30 Days at Rock Steady Boxing
When I first became a member of the Parkinson’s community in 2010, there weren’t many resources available to us… in fact, my Neurologist didn’t even have an informational pamphlet to hand me with the diagnosis of a neurodegenerative disease at age 32. That’s one of the main reasons I decided to get involved in helping others. Back […]
7 Things Healthy Parkies Do

My mom and dad have decided to purchase a new house. This is a very exciting time for them. They get to pick out the colors of the wall, the stucco on the house and what plot of land they want to build on. Anyone would have trouble refraining from jumping up and down like a kid on […]
