Member spotlight Monday✨ This is our committed member, Bert. We see him multiple days a week at our online classes -- he was chosen for the spotlight because every class he shows up and gives it his all! 💪 For Bert, movement has always been a part of his life. Read his story below to see how even with the challenges that Parkinson's brings, he is able to keep prioritizing moving well and living well.
"I am 77 years old now. When I was younger I hiked the Appalachian Trail from Maine to New York, climbed many mountains, was a member of New York’s Road Runners Club, cycled, and boated, spent hours in my wood shop, worked long hours as a lawyer, and provided well for my family.
Parkinson’s Disease by comparison is my big challenge versus the active life I once took for granted. I see neurologists, take medicine, and have physical therapy. Beat Parkinson’s Today is a key commitment to me to maintain as much strength and movement as possible. I look forward three days a week to having a great workout with terrific instructors and the other folks exercising together with us.
My heartfelt thank you to the Beat PD team!"
