Fight for More - Parkinson's disease

WABC Dr. Jay Adlersberg

(New York - WABC, October 12, 2007) - An interesting lesson shared on the Upper East Side. The wife of boxing legend Muhammad Ali spoke about her experience dealing with Parkinson's disease.

Eyewitness News Dr. Jay Adlersberg was there and joins us with more.
