Get Inspired!

My 76 year old cousin, John, inspires me! He was an avid pickleball player when was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. While he continued to play after his diagnosis, it became more difficult and more dangerous for him to continue.  While many people would resign to their recliners, my cousin and his dear wife, Pat, stepped it up and he tried his hand at boxing. There are many benefits to both pickleball and boxing in the Parkinson's world, you just need to find what is right for you.

There are many people living with Parkinson's Disease who have continued fighting through pickleball and other sports, like boxing. "Pickleball, Parkinson's, and Persistence: The Inspiring Journey of Scott Rider" is one of those stories!

The video below is about a Parkinson's group and how they are finding success in boxing! 

Bottom line? Motion is lotion ... keep your body moving!
