About Me
Diagnosed when I was 30 years old with ET, 2 years later PD. I have 3 kids, 17 yr old daughter, 13 and 15 year old sons. I stay as active as possible and help out at their schools as much as possible. I am training to walk the IMT Des Moines Marathon (26.2 miles) on October 19, 2008. There are at least 40 friends and family walking or running an event (5k, half marathon, full marathon) to support the local APDA. Our team is called PD Walkers.
