Michael is a true advocate for research who has not let his diagnosis get in the way of his life. He participates in Rock Steady Boxing and power workouts through The Michigan Parkinson’s Foundation. Recently, Michael has also been given the opportunity to become a mentor through MPF, a position in which he would be able to advocate for research opportunities and even help newly diagnosed candidates through their hesitancy about participating in trials. Michael strives to not only continue educating himself, but others as well about the importance of participating in research to one day find a treatment for Parkinson’s.
