Going the Extra Mile for Our Parkinson’s Athletes!
A huge THANK YOU to our incredible Rock Steady Boxing coaches, Faron Burns, Jillian Luna, Jen Tate, and Wendy Palmer, for dedicating their weekend to training that will help us better serve our Parkinson’s athletes! Your commitment to learning, growing, and finding new ways to support our athletes is truly inspiring.
We also want to extend a very special thank you to Leah Dedrick from Aging Stronger in Chester, Md. for not only hosting this training but also including our YMCA coaches in the experience. We are so grateful for your generosity, collaboration, and willingness to host and include our team!
Our coaches are passionate about making a difference in the lives of people living with Parkinson’s, and investing in their continued education is one more way we ensure our athletes receive the very best support possible.
This training will help us take our program to the next level as we continue to build strength, improve balance, foster confidence, and create meaningful connections in our Parkinson’s community.
