"I didn't really know where the game was going to be played," Fluckiger said. "I had a................................

Dear Friend,
The Tour de Fox has two goals: to rally the national Parkinson’s community into action and to raise $1 million for critical research. With your support, we can make a difference for the more than 5 million individuals living with Parkinson’s disease today.
This summer, in honor of my mom and all those touched by this disease, I’ll be biking thousands of miles and climbing 48 state high-points back to back in just over three months.............................

Co-Founders Message:
You may ask, “Why do the Ice Bucket Challenge again?” And we understand. It’s easy to see it as a one-time event. But let’s make it more than that. Let’s make it into a movement. Even though we've raised $220 million worldwide, a new ALS treatment can cost up to $2 billion, while the costs of ALS patient care can be over $250,000 out-of-pocket per year, above and beyond what insurance covers. So grab a bucket and a camera and join us. Be creative or keep it simple. Whatever you do, please make a donation to an ALS charity and remember to have fun! We officially challenge YOU to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, this August and #everyAugustuntilacure.

Music blares from speakers at Next Level Mixed Martial Arts in Tigard as Pat Sousa punches the air in time to a soundtrack of 1980s jams.
Sousa has been taking boxing lessons at the gym two days a week for months, but he says he has no intention of ever hitting anyone.
Instead, he’s going toe-to-toe with a very different kind of foe. He’s fighting Parkinson’s disease.
Sousa is a member of the Rock Steady Rose City Rebels, a group of Parkinson’s patients who use boxing as a way to help abate some of the disease’s symptoms.

n 1928, the pathologist Harrison Stanford Martland described the clinical features of a distinct neuropsychiatric disorder in boxers known as the “punch-drunk syndrome.” Several decades later this became known as “dementia pugilistica,” reflecting a belief that it was a disease almost exclusive to former boxers. More recent neuropathological studies have identified this condition in persons with other forms of head injury, including athletes exposed to repetitive brain injury in a wide range of sports. Thus, almost 90 years after Dr. Martland’s first.......................
