Jack Quinn's fight with Parkinson's inspired other patients – and could do much more

Quinn was treating his disease in part through participating in a Kenmore program called Parkinson’s Boxing. It had been so successful for his brother that Jeff Quinn started working there as a trainer. Jack, too, was having success in the program, rebuilding much of the strength and balance that Parkinson’s had stolen. By going public, Quinn could help promote and build the program. He could also help raise research money and awareness on a national level for Parkinson’s disease.

I know Jack and his wife. The boxing program has been a lifesaver for many. It took a lot for Jack to open up and we all thank him for doing so. I pray that the government through Jack's contacts realize the scope of this disease and continue to fund research to cure it once and for all.
