New treatments, innovative drugs and a wellspring of possibilities are on the horizon for people living with Parkinson's disease.
Most importantly, there is hope.
Representatives of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research shared that message of hope with well over 230 people Thursday during a presentation at the Red Lion Hotel Templin's on the River in Post Falls.
About eight years ago, Rick Howell was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a brain disorder that causes shaking, uncontrollable movement, loss of balance and other physical symptoms.
Not long after the diagnosis, Rick and his wife Barb Howell visited New York City, where they attended a Michael J. Fox Foundation event.
