What's FUN Got To Do With...Parkinson's?
In my last blog I asked people to take my What's FUN Got to Do With It Survey. The Survey collected a list of "World Problems" we could explore. From the responses my younger sister Nancy's entry was chosen. She was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's which is a serious neurological disease that affects more people than Alzheimer's. Maybe you have heard that Michael J Fox has had Parkinson's for over 15 years and recently Linda Ronstadt announced she has Parkinson's and can no longer sing. This is a significant life changing disease without a known cure at this moment.
I realize that this is a frightening subject to tackle. How could we have fun with such a serious subject. Michael is taking this subject on in his new show where he is a former star newscaster with Parkinson's who has decided to go back to work. The show features his challenges and hopes we can laugh along with him .
