The highlight of the event was the touching testimony of two TWH patients, George Dingman and Andy Barrie, who shared their experiences with an audience of 100 people.
Renowned neurologists Dr. Alfonso Fasano and Dr. Renato Munhoz of the Morton & Gloria Shulman Movement Disorders Centre also presented highlights about two advanced therapies: deep brain stimulation (DBS) and Duodopa infusion for improving quality of life for PD patients.
“I am no longer afraid to live,” revealed George Dingman, who struggled for years with movement disorders before he was officially diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.
“For four years I used to say to no to everything. Now I say yes,” explained former CBC radio broadcaster Andy Barrie.
