Sherri Woodbridge

From what I have researched and learned about Parkinson's disease I have discovered that many symptoms are hard to recognize and diagnose.  My classmate told us about a woman today named Sherri Woodbridge who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at 44 years old.  She started presenting symptoms at 30 years old though and it took that long to be diagnosed.  She had early-onset Parkinson's, the disease typically affects those over 60.  It was nice to hear that despite the things she has to overcome with Parkinson's her blog is very positive and encouraging.  Her faith has helped her not be overcome by the disease and to still see the positives in her life.  She has kept up writing and now writes a blog that is well known and encourages others dealing with hardships.  I am always encouraged to hear about people who are able to see the bright side of tough situations and Sherri definitely has done that.
