"This thing saved me because I was getting worse quickly... When I came here I could barely walk. It caused me to have a long period of reflection, because when you get diagnosed with PD, you get a whole lot of advice, and most all of its negative... Pretty soon you feel like there's nothing left for me to do, but there is. Don't let anything that anyone's told you that you can't do it. Don't listen to that. Come and find out for yourself... you'll probably surprise yourself." Johnny Rozzell
