Are you ready? Are you willing? Are you able?

To let others know

What’s it like to have Parkinson’s ?

To improve our life with Parkinson’s

Our approach must be one that is individually tailored!

No two Parkies are alike.

Our relationship with this Disease is “one of a kind.”

If this is so, then the path we take, should be one that we choose to follow.

Yet how did that path get there?

It was made from other Parkies who have experienced their Parkinson’s before us.

There will be many “forks in the Road” where we must choose one direction over another.

How ever having options, excites me.

It demonstrates that my life, still has purpose, still has a future.

And that future is still dependent on the choices I make.

I’m the words of He-man,

“ I HAVE THE POWER !”

However, my individual empowered life?

Is one that still needs the assistance and the experiences of others.

So much for feeling , Empowered?

You never get a chance to make another first impression

So what impression do you get from this Parkie that stands before you today?

I look reasonably fit

Stunningly Handsome!!!!!!

Witty and charming

Has a beautiful wife and caregiver

There’s not much wrong with him

This first impression may be superficially true

But there is the other side

The dark side

The stuff that most people are unaware of.

And there lies the problem,

they are unaware of it!

The only way to improve our quality life, or better yet find a cure, for this Parasite called Parkinson’s!

Is to get more people involved!

Their involvement can only happen if they are made aware that we need their help,

Their awareness becomes reality, through our willingness to get them involved!

Have fun be a warrior!
