By Valerie Zehl Neighbors

"Michael J. Fox was 30 when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease."

"Binghamton University Assistant Professor Meredith Coles was 32."

"Because of her training in clinical psychology, she recognized the symptoms in herself two years before doctors were forced to concur that indeed she was experiencing early-onset Parkinson's."

"Now this year's batch of students -- Pietrefesa, Casey Schofield, Laura Hayward and Shannon Coleman -- will run a half-marathon in Philadelphia, which Coles considers her hometown."

Read full article. Contain photo of Dr. Coles and students
