Jordan’s Rich Journey -516


Listen Later

On recent podcasts, I have talked about the fact that I have Parkinson’s Disease. Close to 90,000 Americans are diagnosed very year with this neurological condition with no cure that affects everyone differently. It is referred to therefore as the “snowflake” disease.   Right now I am doing well focusing on key elements such as exercise, diet, rest and medication to keep symptoms at bay.  Is it tough?  Surely.  Have I been challenged  to adjust to this new unwanted life?  Of course.   Despite the pain, fatigue and associated symptoms I’ve learned how to better cope physically and emotionally.  And how to be grateful for what I do have.  So when asked to be the subject of a book offering a bit of  inspiration to those with the disease, I agreed after doubting I was the right subject.  I’m very happy I said yes. It is an honor  to announce the publication of a book, written by a longtime friend and colleague John DiCicco, Ph.D. and the late Robert Cuomo, Ph.D. entitled, “Jordan’s Rich Journey: A Path of Purpose, Strength, and Hope with Parkinson’s.”  Proceeds will be donated to various charities funding research and care for PD.  The book is available online with an easy link at www.jordanrich.com.  For anyone facing an uphill struggle, and that is most of us, you are not alone. We’re in the fight together.
