Can exercise bring hope to people afflicted with something as serious as Parkinson’s disease, a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and parts of the body controlled by the nerves?
People are saying that regular exercise helps those afflicted – particularly exercises associated with boxing, as my guest today will explain.

Chris Timberlake was there at the beginning of Rock Steady Boxing Inc., which is based in Indianapolis and has affiliates in all 50 states and 17 countries. It followed the diagnosis of Chris’s husband and their friend about 20 years ago, and their mission is one of hope and community for thousands of people with Parkinson’s and their families.
