Bob Dolezal knows that the quality of his life will continue to erode, that he will be sicker tomorrow than he is today.

So far, Bob has met the many insults of Parkinson's disease with dignity, humor and a fierce determination to do all he could to find a cure.

His touchstone has been the champ — Muhammad Ali — who continued to appear in public to raise money and awareness even after the disease had sapped his ability to speak.
