Denise Lawson’s Parkinson’s Journey

In this episode of 'Spinning Wheels, Parkinson's Conversations with Jim Here,' Jim sits down with Denise Lawson from Calgary, Alberta. Denise, a retired physiotherapist, shares her journey of living well with Parkinson's disease since her diagnosis two years ago. Initially shocked by the diagnosis, Denise quickly decided to move forward and embrace strategies for a fulfilling life. A strategy she uses is mindfulness and meditation. Another is cycling, which not only provides a sense of freedom but also offers an intense physical workout. Denise's participation in the Bike to Barcelona Ride, where she and her husband cycled 1600km to the World Parkinson's Congress in Barcelona, Spain, showcases her determination and resilience. Additionally, Denise emphasizes the importance of community for support. Denise’s story serves as an inspiration to others, offering valuable insights and encouragement to those navigating life with Parkinson's disease.
