Summary

L. E. Hewitt was diagnosed with Young-onset Parkinson's disease at the age of fifty-two. Through his folksy conversational style, he shares the steps he has taken to battle this disease and how his life has become more fulfilling as a result. Since most Parkinson's books are written by medical experts, it was important for Hewitt, a lay person, to write this book for others with Parkinson's and their caregivers. Hewitt hopes to inspire others to keep living, keep moving, and to keep striving to make the most of each and every day. His goal is to motivate people with Parkinson's disease to never give up and to be daring enough to surprise themselves with their own abilities, to keep enjoying life, and dare Parkinson's to keep up.
