“Golden Boy” Update: Boxing, Acting, Defeating Parkinson’s


After I posted yesterday about the revival of the 1937 play “Golden Boy,” one of the people involved with the project (and with the organization which is sponsoring it, stoPD), Dr. Roberta Marongiu, wrote the following comment on a Facebook page where I had left a link to my post:

Roberta Marongiu Thank you so much for sharing this! We are fundraising to develop a new theater program specifically tailored for people with PD. Please share with your network; we need your help to better the quality of life of people with PD!

On her Facebook page I also found a link to this local TV news coverage of their work:


 


The newscast covers both the boxing program stoPD has created…

…as well as the play:


If only I still lived in Brooklyn, where both the play and the boxing classes are located!
