In part two of this episode, Brain & Life Podcast host Dr. Daniel Correa is joined by Brendan Cusick and Patrick Morrissey, two of the four members of the team who completed what is considered the World's Toughest Row and raised over 40 million dollars for increased research for Parkinson’s disease. Patrick himself lives with an early Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis and still found his own way to manage symptoms and become the first person with PD to complete this challenge. Brendan and Patrick discuss how this experience changed their lives once they got home and what they took away from it. Dr. Correa is then joined by Dr. Jori Fleisher, a movement disorder specialist at Rush University Medical Center, and a passionate advocate for people and families living with advanced Parkinson's and related conditions.
