I love a good hike!

My name is Colleen Thomas. I have Parkinson’s disease, and I do my best to keep it from slowing me down.

More about ME

Please keep this in mind:

The information provided on the site does not substitute for professional medical advice. It’s important to consult a medical professional or health care provider when seeking medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment.

Hikers with Parkinson’s or any mobility issues must find a balance between love of adventure and staying safe. (It’s a constant tussle for me.) When unsure, check with your doctor.

A Parkinson's diagnosis doesn't mean you have to quit the outdoors.
