Matter of Mind: My Parkinson's
A mother, an optician, and a cartoonist each navigate their lives with determination in the face of Parkinson’s disease
55 mins
In Matter of Mind: My Parkinson’s, three people navigate their lives with resourcefulness and determination in the face of a degenerative illness, Parkinson’s disease. An optician pursues deep brain stimulation surgery; a mother raising a pre-teen daughter becomes a boxing coach and an advocate for exercise; and a cartoonist contemplates how he will continue to draw as his motor control declines.
