In this episode you will meet Molly Donelan. Molly is the Director of Events and programs at Sportrock Climbing Center in Alexandria, Virginia where she has been working and climbing for over 12 years. Molly was able to combine her love of climbing as well as her passion for neuroscience when she started a Parkinson's climbing group at Sportrock 8 years ago.
Molly discusses the benefits of rock climbing, why rock climbing is an especially good exercise for those with Parkinson's Disease and what she has learned from people living with Parkinson's.
Please join me on my next episode with Dr. Draw Falconer. Dr. Falconer is board certified in neurology and is a fellowship-trained movement disorders specialist. He is the Director of the Inova Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Center and specializes in advanced care of patients with Parkinson’s disease as well as other movement disorders.
Dr. Falconer and I discuss current approaches to treatment, nonmedical musts, and Parkinsons during COVID.
