In this episode we travel to Uganda, the pearl of Africa. Parkinson's disease affects people from every country and climate and it shows no regard for the worldly wealth or honors of those it affects. That notwithstanding the impacts on quality of life, for the poor, those living in rural areas and those who face social stigma as a result of them having a disease... well for those folks it's just plain harder. While at the WPC in Barcelona I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Kabugo Hannington and ...

Hello dear listener, We were only there for ten days, it just felt like a month. I've always felt that travel has this remarkable habit of shifting your perspective so radically it feels like time has slowed down so that you have a much longer or shorter trip than would be possible based on how long you were actually gone for. -Enjoy!

With pleasure INDY Co-hosts Judy and Travis sit ...
