Parky accompanied me this morning to the New York City Parks Masters Swim Meet at the Flushing Meadows Corona Park Aquatic Center. With Parky cheering me on, I won a first place ribbon and two second place ribbons for my age group (men 60-64 years old). My events were all freestyle: 200 yards, 100 yards, and 50 yards.
Remember, you can buy your own Parky, the official World Parkinson Congress mascot, here! All profits go to the WPC Travel Grants Program, which helps a junior researcher or person with Parkinson’s disease to attend the World Parkinson Congress 2016 in Portland, Oregon!
