In this special MJFF Third Thursday Webinar, we’ll hear from Team Fox Athlete and Person with Parkinson’s Disease Jimmy Choi about his journey to compete on NBC’s obstacle course competition “American Ninja Warrior.” A host of the show and member of the MJFF Board of Directors, Akbar Gbajabiamila, will join us to discuss his role in the Parkinson’s community. Watch the short film below about Jimmy’s empowering story.

Later in our hour, our on-staff movement disorder specialist and a Parkinson’s physical therapist will discuss why exercise is good for treating PD, what exercises can help ease certain symptoms and how to get started with an exercise regimen.
