Don faced his 2006 diagnosis of Parkinson’s with grace and dignity. Even in the face of such adversity, he found a way to move forward in a meaningful manner and partnered with the Boston University movement clinic to test physical therapy programs and speak to others who had been more recently diagnosed to help them cope with their diagnosis and improve their symptoms. His diagnosis made him ever more conscious of time and reminded us all to take opportunities to continue to make memories together – and we did. The support of the Michael J. Fox Foundation empowered Don with tools and knowledge to carry on. We hope that donations in his name will continue to help others who are living with Parkinson's.
