Parkinson’s Reeling in the Big One - Rafael B.'s Shatter the Myths Photo

People think that because I have young onset Parkinson’s that my life is not full and active. As you can see in the picture, Parkinson’s does not have my hands tied. I love deep sea fishing and it has come to serve as a metaphor for my life. When you hook that trophy fish on the line you are in for the fight of your life as much as I am with Parkinson’s. I will keep reeling in the Big One. I will win this fight.
