@cbcvancouver: A group of seniors in Ladner, B.C., with Parkinson's disease are fighting the condition in a unique way — through non-contact boxing.⁠ ⁠ Jean Blake, CEO of Parkinson's B.C., says boxing is an excellent way for people affected by the disease to manage their symptoms.⁠ ⁠ "It's terrific exercise," Blake said. "It gives people aerobic exercise. It improves their balance, their strengths, their agility — all things that people with Parkinson's have to contend with as the disease progresses."⁠ ⁠ Reporting by Maurice Katz/CBC, videography by GP Mendoza/CBC. #boxing #Parkinsons #parkinsonsdisease #parkinsonsawareness #CBC #Vancouver #CBCNews
