About
Hello! We are Bob and Ben, father and son, and this is our website around our daily, weekly, monthly and lifelong journey of keeping active and loud, together.
10 years ago or so, my father was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Freezing of Gait — a form of Parkinsonism that essentially means it’s like Parkinson’s Disease but they know even less about it and he doesn’t respond to Parkinson’s medications.
A few years later, in 2014, as the condition began making it more difficult to move around, I moved back to the East from Northern California, and I joined him in taking action on ways to support him to keep moving.
It is my hope, through this website of ours, that these incredible lessons and moments reach you more powerfully than the difficulty you may see in what is presented with our work together. Please except our invitation to be lit up with inspiration, possibility, and joy through our challenging journey and yours.

It’s been a long journey already, many ups and many downs. Amongst the constant and enormous challenges, frustrations, falls, and fast-slow decline in neurological capabilities, there have been some of the most beautifully rewarding moments and lessons that I am grateful for.
We aim to share this journey through showcasing the exercises my father does, offering advice if we have it, and highlighting discoveries and lessons that we’ve had and continue to find. We hope you find the inspiration and determination to open yourselves up to action, connection, harmony, and presence through this website.
Sincerely,
Bob and Ben
