Hello. I’m David. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2013, I want to share my story with you. So, here it is. My life, unscripted. Living daily with Parkinson’s Disease. An honest, frank and uplifting discussion. A conversation about daily struggles, victories, food, reading, quilting and my faith. Walk with me and get a glimpse into my world, through my words. Don’t worry, I don’t walk fast.

David Peter
