FORWARD - The Possibilities of Ping Pong for Parkinson’s
Book by Anna Cohn Donnelly
What's going on here? People with Parkinson's, a disease that can bring with it life shaking confusion, uncoordinated movement and compromised cognition, are smiling, laughing and having fun playing together. What are we playing?
A nearly forgotten childhood pastime.
Ping pong. Author Anna Cohn Donnelly shares our inspiring story in these colorfully illustrated pages. Informed by her experience living with Parkinson's
and the voice of new found friends, Anna and we discover therapeutic value, joy and friendship playing ping pong. Player testimonials dance off the page.
Anna reminds us Parkinson's Disease is not a death sentence. Rather it can be a life story, a grace filled journey, complete with making new friends and playing activities we enjoy together.
