Great podcast ! So inspiring and love the limitless concept! Thank You are another great podcast for the Parkinsons community!
This was a REAL “FEEL GOOD” podcast. W are fortunate that people like Chad exist and use their creative minds to come up with “Inspire” (for example)
Thank you Sheryl for constantly finding new and different ways to help Parkinson’s patients. I know that I would not even be aware of the existence of many of these programs. The ones that I was aware of (like DBS for example) were reinforced by the blog.
You are doing a huge service to the Parkinson’s community by publishing these blogs. Whether it is new information of reinforcement, it serves its purpose!
