People with many disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, benefit from exercise. There is convincing evidence that exercise improves cardiovascular health and quality of life, and it may impact the progression of disease. However, it remains a challenge to encourage exercise. The Department of Neurology, with support from the Parkinson’s Foundation, has established a long-term program for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, and their families and friends. “The 5K Training Team” has been training for and competing in 5K’s since 2010!
The team will participate in the annual Memorial Day 5K at Descanso Gardens. Verdugo Hills Hospital is an official sponsor of this event.
If you or a family member is interested in joining the 5K Training Team please contact Sarah Ingersoll, Assistant Professor, Neurology, at singerso@usc.edu.
