A national program for people with Parkinson's disease has been established. It focuses on rock climbing and currently has over 1,300 participants.
This initiative came about after a retired doctor, who has been living with the condition for more than two decades, was allowed to climb at a gym.
Further information about this program can be found through KOSA CBS7, including how it has expanded to serve people across the country.
