Yesterday I climbed Mt. Si, 4 miles each way with an elevation gain of 4,000 ft. The day before I climbed to Lake 22, 2.7 miles each way with an elevation gain of 1,500 ft. The last mile of each hike was in the snow. There is no way I would have even thought about attempting such climbs without the Pedaling for Parkinson's program. I would rather be living each day to my greatest capacity than waiting for a paper to confirm my lived experience. Everyone chooses.
