Steve Annear is CEO of the Kirk Gibson Foundation for Parkinson's and he is about to embark on the Kilimanjaro Challenge. He plans to climb to the summit Africa's highest peak to raise awareness and garner support for the new Kirk Gibson Center for Parkinson's Wellness, which opens in Farmington Hills on October 6. 
What's even more amazing than the trek itself, is that Annear will climb the mountain on crutches. He lost his left leg at age 11 due to a blood circulation problem but his physical limitations have not stopped him from meeting and exceeding challenges.
Learn more about Steve's story and Gibson's vision for the 30,000 foot facility that will serve the Parkinson's community in southeast Michigan and beyond.
The former Tiger great was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2015 and he battles the disease day by day by remaining physically active.  The center will provide programs and services to help others afflicted with the disease to do the same. I invite you to share  this podcast with family and friends. Please  subscribe to make sure you are notified of every new episode.

For 20 years, Jack Krasula has hosted the one-hour show, "Anything is Possible" on Detroit's WJR radio. On his anniversary show, I had the honor of interviewing him as he looked back on the more than one-thousand episodes. Now, Jack is my guest and we discuss how he found himself on the radio as the unlikely host of the show. We also explore his background growing up on Chicago's south side and his love of the north side team, the Cubs! He was a successful businessman and entrepreneur and a wonderful storyteller. We discuss Jack's incredible collection of autographs, the important role faith has played in his life, and his works of evangelization in metro Detroit.

Keith Gave covered the Red Wings for 15 years as beat writer for the Detroit Free Press. He was there as the team won the Stanley Cup back-to-back in 1997 and 1998. Gave is the author of four books, including the Russian Five, which tells the story of how the five Red Army Hockey Club stars wound up in Detroit and the initial role he played in the ultimate defection of Vladimir Konstantinov and Sergei Fedorov. We discuss that period, the present day Red Wings and his new book, "The Grind Line," detailing another group of legendary Red Wings who  played a vital role in the team's championships. Join us for the stories as we look back on this remarkable period in Detroit sports history.
