Live production & filming by KFM Media Will was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2010 and told that his life would deteriorate slowly but dramatically. Being a person who strongly believes in confronting issues, he responded by donning a ‘Walking for Parkinson’s’ sign on his back and conquering the Camino de Compostela.
Will Boag raises money for Shakeitup, a Parkinson’s Research charity founded by Clyde Campbell. Will and his wife Corrie have been doing this for 10 years raising over $60,000. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

This is a really good description of how walking is for me. I am 84 years old. My PD has made walking more and more difficult. I was diagnosed officially 3 years ago but in hindsight I my PD has been with me for 10 or more years my Doctors did not mention it. My first time hearing about it was from a physical therapist. Even after this the doctors still can't always see the PD.
