Here’s another inspirational story of a guy with PD who runs seven days a week for a total of 40 miles. He also runs up mountains. And enters marathons.
His name is Doug Rasmussen. He’s 59 years old. And he lives in Hawaii, which is motivation a-plenty to run outdoors. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s a few years ago, and the daily exercise is keeping the symptoms at bay.
Choice, pithy quote:
Parkinson’s disease likely won’t let up, and neither will he.
Doug is also 6 feet tall and weighs 135 pounds…must be all that running. I’d love to know what he eats.

Then lace up your sneakers and head to the nearest gym/running trail/dance hall/swimming pool.
