Kevin has always been a loving and hardworking son. He went to work at age 16 and still has not stopped, slowed down or given in to his Parkinson. He is 47 years old and was diagnosed with Parkinson 4 years ago. It has been an emotional and challenging time for him and his wife. His job is very stressful and demanding but he keeps on going and never gives in to the disease until he is totally exhausted. He is a perfectionist in every thing he does or undertakes. Growing up he enjoyed playing football and going on family camping trips and trips with his dad in his 18- wheeler. At age 12 he could drive the truck at well as his dad. Now is interest has turned to drag racing which he does on weekends.
I pray daily as well as many others we know that a cure will be found for Parkinson or that God will grant my son a miracle. He is loved my his family very much and want to see him well. We hope everyone will get involved and make a difference in helping to find a cure.
