In 1983, John Ball was almost at a midpoint in his life-a time
to assess the first half before he carried on with the second. It
was then that he had to deal with the diagnosis of Parkinson's
disease, just before he turned forty years old. In this memoir,
Ball narrates his story of how he has lived with Parkinson's
disease and how he has worked to create a better life for others
struggling with difficult diagnoses and debilitating diseases.
"Living Well, Running Hard" offers insight into Ball's growth
from isolation into a leadership role in the Parkinson's community.
His long struggle to understand the disease provides an in-depth
look at the complexities of Parkinson's. Ball tells how his
transition was triggered by a childhood desire to run a marathon
and how his love of running, his desire to take action, and his
willingness to take on challenges come together in the formation of
Team Parkinson. In spite of his diagnosis, Ball has continued to
run the Los Angeles Marathon each of the last fifteen years.
Intimate and inspiring, "Living Well, Running Hard" communicates
one man's story of perseverance and triumph.
