Matter of Mind: My Parkinson's

Summary

In a story that offers a new take on what it means to live with degenerative illness, three people grapple with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. An optician pursues brain surgery; a mother raising a preteen daughter becomes a boxing coach; and a cartoonist struggles to draw as his motor control declines. Each pursues their life’s passions through equal measures of determination and adaptation.
