139. Running A Marathon With Parkinsons Disease

Dean Laws is an everyday Aussie bloke who got a heartbreaking diagnosis of Parkinsons disease at 52 years old. Today, 12 years later, he's run 2 marathons and claims to be in the best shape of his life. Dean tells about his sporty upbringing, competing in triathlon and his first Parkinsons symptoms. He delves into the process of diagnosis and the impact this had on his mental health as well as physcial symptoms. As someone who loved living an active life it was devastating to see it all start to slip away, with no possibility of cure.

Dean didn't lose all hope though, he describes this turning point in the ep where he turned to his closest friends for support and decided he was going to put up a fight. We hear the story of seeking exercise intervention and the return to running and eventual completion of Sydney Marathon, a distance he'd never run even before his diagnosis. He since has founded 'The Dean Team' which is dedicated to helping people with Parkinsons live active, fulfilling and independent lives. They raise awareness and funds for Parkinson's research and support services.

Dean is an inspiring man who shares a story of possibility, hope and transformation. A big message from this ep is the importance of seeking help and surrounding yourself with a community that can uplift you. We know you're going to love it.
