Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro

New news from the Pedaling for Parkinson’s front.   Former guests, John Carlin and Nan Little, who both have Parkinson’s and have ridden their bikes across Iowa for the last two summers, are readying themselves for another great adventure.   In a few weeks they will attempt to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, with a group of Parkinson’s and MS patients.  Their leader, Lori Schneider who lives with MS, has summit-ed the highest peak on each continent.  John and Nan attribute their ability to get stronger, more fit, and even more adventuresome with PD to riding their bikes at a high cadence several times per week.

 

John Carlin Recovery Progress One Year Later

John Carlin was a guest on my show last year. How is he doing one year later? His recovery has been remarkable. He was recently interviewed for a news broadcast on Parkinson’s disease but his interview was scrapped. Why? He did not look like he had Parkinson’s! John tells all of us during the show what he has been doing to get sustained relief from his symptoms.
