Inspired by the juggling exploits of the actor Alan Alda, best known for playing the cheeky doctor 'Hawkeye' in Mash and then later as presidential candidate 'Arnold Vinick' in the West Wing (hands down the best TV programme ever made), i was always a big fan of his from a young age. Aside from relating to that mischievous grin and his overall positive energy, it turns out we have something else in common...

we both have Parkinson's disease

Ok so i'm not going to make a career out of juggling but i did want to prove a point to myself. For those of us living with Parkinson's, it's easy to dwell on the things you can't do, rather than take inspiration from the things you can.
