Recently a good friend of mine was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I also have another friend in California who was diagnosed 5 years ago with this disease and has been boxing for a number of years, which for her has significantly limited its progression. Recognizing many others likely have friends with this health challenge, I am excited that Michal Sellars can join us to discuss both the research he has done on the benefits of boxing as a therapy for Parkinson’s and the non-profit he has started- “Boxer’s with Parkinson’s” (BwP). Included will be BwP’s strategy for long-term financial self-sufficiency.
