Tom McGinniss puts on his boxing gloves twice a week and takes aim at Parkinsonâs disease.
The Roscoe, Illinois, man drives 25 minutes to Janesville to take part in a noncontact, boxing-based fitness program.
âIt is what I have to do to fight this disease,â McGinniss said.
He is one of a dedicated group that meets regularly to work out with exercises largely adapted from boxing drills.
McGinniss has taken part in the program for about three years.
âBoxing keeps me active,â he said. âIâm still not on any Parkinsonâs medications yet, so itâs working for me.â
