Your Daily Dose of Dopamine_51
What is hope? Do we miss opportunity because we lack it? We're casting the net wide and hoping you'll watch, subscribe and comment on today's dose.
Yes, And...Robert's son makes his Daily Dose premiere in this episode - watch for it!
Robert and Susan form an interesting duo. Robert is a longtime care partner for his father with Parkinson's disease (PD). Susan is a woman who was diagnosed with PD in 2015. They've both made award-winning films about their experiences with PD and are now co-founders of the non-profit, YAX! - www.yesandexercise.com.
The mission of YAX! is to provide a safe, fun and kind place for people with and affected by Parkinson’s disease to connect, empower and enhance their lives through improvisation.
That's right: improvisation. We play - mostly online so we can get as many people as we can from as many places as we can. We do not charge. We do accept donations from those who wish to pay it forward.
Robert is a third-year PhD student in the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences program at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. He is researching the effect of improvisation on PD and will soon be publishing the results of his clinical trials.
Join us for fun, laughter and your daily dose of dope(-amine).
