After watching the video presentation, I wrote to Dr. Camilla about my experiences with cycling and exercise. I wrote at some length about how I had become involved with Pedaling for Parkinson's and what the results have been. She wrote back a most gracious note, asking that we keep in touch. Interestingly enough, her experiences parallel my own noting how difficult it is to keep people with Parkinson's motivated to do the exercise that will slow them from progressing in the disease. I shared with her that my sense is that the people with Parkinson's want camaraderie nearly as much as they want relief from symptoms. I am told that nearly every time I attend a PFP class and nearly every time I communicate with a PWP on the Internet or on the telephone.
