the GMCF Community Hour, asheard on NewsRadio KMAN.
We are back with the GMCFCommunity Hour and we are going
to get caught up today withMichelle Hobb.
Michelle is for ourEnglish-speaking friends, let's
(00:22):
say that again.
Michelle is with Metal Ark andtoday we're going to talk
specifically about theParkinson's program.
But you're the special programsleader and it's always a
delight to have you in thestudio because you always bring
a smile and good things to talkabout that are happening at
Metal Ark and there's a lot ofgood things.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yes, there are.
Thank you for having me, andlikewise, it's always good to
see you as well.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, there are.
Thank you for having me, andlikewise it's always good to see
you as well.
Yeah, yeah, I'd rather be seenthan viewed.
Yes, agreed, so it's alwaysnice to be seen.
But we've got you know, yourbig annual event, the Speedy PD
race, is coming up and I know wewant to talk about that.
But you might visit with us alittle bit about what the
Parkinson's program is and whatyou do at Meadowlark.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yes, absolutely so.
The Parkinson's programprovides free education,
exercise, outreach andactivities just to bring people
together that are affected byParkinson's.
So it's not just for peoplethat live on the Meadowlark
campus.
It's open to anyone throughoutthe Flint Hills region and
(01:28):
everything is free.
That's why we do this big race,so we can keep all of our
services free.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And that's one of the things I think that surprises
maybe a lot of people that thisis not limited to your residents
.
I mean you do have a number ofresidents there that are dealing
with Parkinson's.
Sure, sure, I mean you do havea number of residents there that
are dealing with Parkinson's.
Sure sure, and the opportunityfor others who are, you know,
regardless of what their stageis and where they are in their
Parkinson's journey, mm-hmm,that's got to be just highly
(01:58):
impactful for them.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, it really is.
You know, parkinson's tends tocause some depression and
anxiety and apathy because ofthe chemical changes within the
brain and when you are dealingwith those things, it's really
hard to get out and makeyourself want to be involved and
to do exercise, which we knowright now is the only thing that
(02:20):
is proven to slow theprogression of Parkinson's.
So when you're having thoseemotions and those feelings that
make you want to stay home andnot do things, when you know
that you have a community thatsupports you and provides
everything that you need fromlearning about nutrition to
sleep, to personal relationships, to voice exercises All of
(02:43):
those things are there at yourfingertips.
You just open the door andthere we are for you.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I think one of the neat types of and maybe we
should just call it therapies isboxing yes when you can.
I suppose that it's great thatyou could take out your, your
frustrations of what yourcondition is and what you're
dealing with on a bag.
But but how so effective it isfor you know for that, you know
(03:12):
for for for them to help dealwith it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, absolutely.
Um.
So I'm fortunate enough to beone of our certified coaches and
it is truly one of myhighlights just to see people
you know that they may walk intoclass and they're taking these
tiny little shuffling steps andmidway through the class they're
taking bigger steps.
They're not shuffling, they'renot squeaking on the floor.
(03:37):
The exercise is trulytransforming and also, like I
said, that engagement that theyhave with their peers there is.
It's really powerful to seethem cheer each other on and
have a little bit of goodcompetition, if you will, as
well.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That social aspect is so good on anything especially
as we age.
And you know there's been.
You know, see, clyde Joneswould say this you know, having
that social life continuing ishighly impactful as you get
older.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, and giving you that senseof accomplishment, you know,
when you think about the factthat.
You know.
Well, I have this progressivedegenerative disorder.
I should just be getting worse.
And what's the point?
Well, come and hang out with usin the Metal Parkinsons program
and you'll figure out why youshould be getting to doing
things, because there is a point.
(04:28):
There's so much more life tolead.
It's not a death sentence.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
You're in your 17th year of Speedy PD, yes, which is
a great event, and I know youget a tremendous amount of
turnout for this.

city.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Do you have people that come use the Parkinson's
program from outside ofManhattan Riley County area?

to maintain a hybrid format.
So we have a gentleman thatparticipates in one of our
memory classes from Indiana.
We've got a couple of peoplefrom Kansas City that zoom in

Parkinson's.
We have reached out to theDublin Parkinson's community.
So Eugene DeDonder is agentleman with Parkinson's and
he's one heck of an advocate andhe made contact with people
with Parkinson's Ireland Dublinbranch.
And then I had a contact with agentleman from Parkinson's
Europe and so we have had acouple of meetings and we are
(10:05):
really forging forth with makingthis opportunity of the K-State
football game to be aninternational venue.
Basically, for raising awarenessfor Parkinson's.

Yes, sir.
So the participant shirts thisyear are green, but it's an
homage to Ireland.
It's got the little hat, he'sgot a little shamrock on his
shirt, our little PD runner guy.
But then our VIPDs their shirtsare purple, so that way that
helps to distinguish them.

Yeah, so awesome.
And we're also so grateful toCoach Kleiman and his wife
Rhonda.
They've been really bigsupporters of ours and you know

As far as making moreconnections, because Rhonda's
dad has Parkinson's, she did aninterview with D Scott Fritchin
(11:07):
and that helps again, you knowjust anywhere that we can get
the word out that Parkinson's issomething, that it's not an
easy disease but you can livewell with the disease for a long
time.
And now we're being able tomake that Manhattan, Kansas,
