You make the science real.

As we enter this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to say thank you.

Thank you for showing up, even on the days when Parkinson’s tries to push back.
Thank you for proving, over and over again, that strength isn’t just measured in punches thrown—it’s measured in spirit, attitude, and heart.

The Heart of Our Community

There’s something special about this group. It’s not just a class. It’s not just a workout. It’s a community. One built on resilience, encouragement, humor, and a shared determination to keep moving forward.

I see the way you cheer each other on.
I see the moments when you dig deep, push through, and discover that you are capable of more than Parkinson’s ever wants you to believe.

These are the moments that inspire Cheryl and I every single day.

Why We Fight

Boxing is more than a workout—it’s a message to Parkinson’s that we’re still here and we’re not giving up.

• Every jab is an act of defiance.

• Every cross is a declaration of independence.

• Every round is a reminder that you have power and purpose.

Research continues to show that high-intensity exercise, especially boxing, can improve mobility, balance, strength, and overall quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s. But you prove it. You make the science real.

You are walking evidence that movement matters and hope is stronger when we fight together.

A Season to Celebrate Progress

Thanksgiving reminds us to look back and recognize how far we’ve come.

This year you’ve shown discipline and determination. You’ve taken punches metaphorically—but you’ve also delivered plenty back.

Cheryl and I are thankful for every one of you.

Happy Thanksgiving, fighters.
