About this item
by David Blacker (Author)
A Doctor Diagnosed. A Life Redefined. A Battle Reimagined.
"I could feel Parkinson's disease creeping up on me."
With those words, Dr. David Blacker, a respected neurologist, stepped into an unexpected dual role: both physician and patient.
In this candid and inspiring memoir, he chronicles the years following his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease-a journey marked not only by struggle, but by surprising triumphs. From reshaping his career to forging unlikely partnerships, including one with a former national boxing champion, his story reveals how adversity can lead to transformation.
With insight from both sides of the medical divide, David shares hard-won wisdom on physical resilience, emotional strength, and the power of human connection. Together with his wife Kirsten, he pioneers yoga and fitness programs that are now changing lives across the PD community.
Raw, reflective, and ultimately hopeful, My FIGHT with PD is more than a memoir - it's a guide for living fully in the face of uncertainty, and a powerful message for patients and practitioners alike.
