New Parkinson's Webcast Gives Worldwide Support to Individuals with Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease

It has been almost eight years since Rich Rozek was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson's disease. "It's been a struggle at times dealing with the changes, like losing the dexterity of my left hand -- I used to play bass guitar, but not anymore. My writing has deteriorated too. Thank goodness for computers -- now I type all my lyrics on my laptop. I still love to write lyrics -- and sing too. Parkinson's has slowed me down, but you learn to adapt... you have to remain positive!"
