LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Members of the Lincoln community are taking the initiative to spread awareness about Parkinson’s Disease.
Lincoln resident Brian Reetz’s mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 20 years ago. Since then, he has spent years advocating for people with the disease and taking part in events hosted by the Parkinson’s Foundation.
“That really is what sprung me to try to do a little bit more, not only for mom, but it kind of got me more involved,” Reetz said.
