Becoming a Good Parkinson’s Role Model
How did you feel when you were first diagnosed with PD? What was your initial reaction? Do you agree with Sherri that you have a responsibility to be a good role model for PD?

I knew in my heart that I had Parkinson’s before my first neurologist appointment but hearing the words come out of his mouth was surreal! It took about a year before I finally made peace with it. three years later I’ve settled into my new normal and I try to be a good role model especially at church.

That’s great that you’re connected to a church, Marcus. I’m super involved in mine as well. Did you become more involved after your diagnosis or were you always very active there?

Only when I finally accepted MY PD diagnosis was I able to deal with the cards I have been dealt. I hope that through my blogging about my PD journey and my continuing to take Rock Steady Boxing classes, I can be a role model for others

Hi ally, I joined my Church about seven years ago. They are very supportive and helped me during that difficult time after my diagnosis. Without God I don’t think I could make it I hope to one day be a deacon.
