Hi, I am Frank, and I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s a little more than a year ago. This summer I am going to Paddle for Parkinsons because Parkinson’s has given me a gift and turned the concept of “Eventually” into the reality of now. I like kayaking and like most kayakers I have that “Eventually I will do a real kayak adventure” thought in my mind. This has become, I am paddling the Shannon from source to sea this summer. From June 28th to July 7th, I will paddle from Dowra to Tarbert. This is Paddle4Parkinsons.
