There is room for 16 pwp cyclists, although they will add an additional class if there is sufficient demand.

For more information contact Cindy Mascari, cmascari@ymca-snoco.org

To hear more about the program and recent developments in Pedaling for Parkinson’s tune into Robert Roger’s blogtalkradio for an interview with Nan Little this Wed., June 8, at 3 p.m. There will be a call in opportunity. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/parkins...nt-kilimanjaro
This is all important; but, and tho it isn't funny , it all boils down to delivery system. This is the one positive thing you can do. Add the wii and some music _ it has short term appeal for me but requires more self discipline than I have to spare . It's hard enough getting thru the day; i can't place too much investment in the compulsion to have exercised , self initiated, but recently learned, moderately - this is useful information and needs to have more attention. It comes in spurts and many can't get themselves there and it's not safe for them to do so.

here is the reality of it but i'm in a good time for that and it is the best medicine....irritatingly so.
