I would like to introduce you this week to a few people who
have inspired others with their determination, fighting spirit and tremendous courage.
What do all these people have in common? I think you know the answer to that.
They all live with Parkinson's disease. I say "live with Parkinson's"
for this is what they appear to be doing; living their lives, making the best
out of what they have been dealt, and giving the world role models - imparting
an important message of hope. The human spirit can be powerfully strong despite
one's physical weakness. Today I would like you to meet Brian Grant, a former
NBA Rookie All Star who was diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 36. Not
only is 36 very young, but just imagine for one moment an athlete who relies on
his healthy strong body, how devastating and life changing diagnosis must have
been. Yet here he is climbing a mountain with other Parkinson's sufferers. With
determination and true grit they "power forward" and made it to the
top. Brian, you are an inspiration to us all. Click on this link to see Brian's story for
yourself.
