I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about 10 years ago. I am 71 now and my wife is my loving and nurturing caregiver.
Tomorrow, Sunday, September 8, 2019, I will be participating in a walk (1 mile loop) at Wolfe Park. This is the first time I have ever done anything like this, but with the encouragement and support of my wife and my family, I have made a team to walk with me to promote awareness of this debilitating disease and help fund needed Parkinson’s research.
I don’t know how far I’m going to be able to go, but I’m going to push myself to go as far as I can.
Two middle school kids in the neighborhood, have gone with me to walk around the neighborhood. They have been wonderful and never once complained.
