It's February 29th. The Finish Line is in Sight!

It's hard to believe, but we've made it through February for another year. The 2024 edition of the 10,000 Kettlebells for Parkinson's will wrap up in just a few hours.

I hope you had a chance to read the update on the world class Saskatchewan Movement Disorders Program from Dr. Ali and Dr. Alex Rajput. It's a concrete example of a solidly-established research program, and I am proud to be able to support it through our wellness project. https://www.hillcountrycanada.ca/the-saskatchewan-movement-disorders-program/

Thank you for your efforts throughout February. I hope you have gained a deeper appreciation for making wellness a priority.

Phewww! Busy but good weekend. Went ice fishing yesterday. Got my KBs in this afternoon. Having a Super-Bowl party this evening. The last one is really an excuse for a party. But all part of wellness, I say! If you're on the challenge with us, keep up the good work. And if you're not, you're invited - we still have nearly 3 weeks left! Message if you have any Qs...

It's February 5 already! Five days into the challenge, I've done 3 workouts, so right on schedule. I use the in-between day to "recover". If you're doing a fitness-type wellness activity, ROCK ON! No matter what you're working on this month, work on building the habit of wellness.

Quick update. Got my first day of KBs in today. That warmup week was a good idea or I'd be pretty sore. It's been great learning what others are doing to improve their wellness this month. Lots of folks walking. We've had quite a few "repeat customers" who have done the challenge before, and a small handful that have done it since we started in 2016. Some aren't even related, so that's pretty legit! Great job! Keep up the great effort.

Anyone else - you're invited to join us. Pick a wellness activity and do it regularly throughout February. Don't forget to register!

Welcome to my family’s annual February wellness challenge known as “10,000 Kettlebells for Parkinson’s”. I want to promote wellness and raise awareness about Parkinson’s Disease. Ultimately, I hope this will translate to a movement where many people improve their own personal wellness and, together, we can financially support Parkinson’s research.

About me: I’m a data analyst by day, and enjoy fishing and ice fishing when I’m not doing that. Each February since 2016, my family and I do a month-long challenge to support Parkinson’s Disease research challenge people to improve their wellness. I have learned a lot about wellness over the past few years, and I hope you will journey along with us.

Welcome to the new website!
