My Travel Story

Hi everyone, 

The reason I'm here is because 6 years ago my Mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's. However the signs were there a couple years before the diagnosis. She's the most wonderful woman and watching her start to struggle more with this disease is really hard. She deserves the world and she certainly doesn't deserve to have the trials she has but she never complains. She takes every day with its ever changing challenges and she never lets it tear her down. She has been an artist her whole life, and while the tremors get bad she continues to follow her passions. I have live close to her almost all of my 34 years and recently moved to Alaska and she is coming to visit and while she is here I would love to take her around and show her the sights and beauty of Alaska. Parkinson's will eventually make traveling very hard for her and I would love to give her a wonderful experience while she is here.
