Parkinson's Disease: Adversity or Adventure

About six months ago I was challenged to do a Ted Talk. After writing the narrative of the talk, competing to be one of the finalists, and then writing and rewriting, practising and practising more, I had the opportunity on May 30 to give my talk. It has the same title as this post. It can be found on the TEDx YouTube site here.

I must admit that it was a lot more work than I thought it would be, but it was also a lot more rewarding in terms of learning what it takes to produce one of these talks. I think the most satisfying aspect of this "adventure" was the thought that this might be an encouragement to some; encouragement to be transparent about the challenges we Parky people face every day, and encouragement to choose adventure and the positive attitude that goes with it.

So please feel free to pass this along, provide your comments, share as you feel inclined.
