Kat and Ken Hill sell everything to travel the country in an airstream

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's episode of our podcast. Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Kat Hill, a Davis Phinney Foundation YOPD Council Leader, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in her mid-40s. Kat's journey with Parkinson's began three years ago when she stopped working due to her diagnosis. It took her a good two to three months to come to terms with the reality of the situation, but then she realized she had a choice. She could either lay around and minimize her symptoms or take control of her life. And self-pity wasn't really a good fit for her.

 

To help them navigate this "new normal," Kat and her husband Ken started a Young Onset Parkinson's social group and are actively building a support network of Young Onset Parkinson's care partners. Ken, who is joining us today, is here to share his experiences as a care partner and how they are resizing their current lifestyle and future expectations. So, sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the challenges and triumphs of living with Parkinson's disease
