Carol Clubny

one woman's remarkable journey with Parkinson's disease

At forty-nine years old, Carol Clupny was an active, driven woman--a horseback rider, mountain climber, and world traveler. A mere one year later, she struggles to understand why she can't paddle a kayak or throw a ball. Then comes the diagnosis: early onset Parkinson's disease. "Keep exercising and taking your meds, and you'll have five to ten years before things get more difficult," her doctor tells her. Carol's response? Road trips, international travel, and long distance hiking and biking. On her trips, Carol faces challenges she never could have foreseen, forges lasting friendships, and confronts the reality of life with a neurological disorder. Told with humor and grace, this book shows us how to keep finding adventure when life changes course
