'If you succeed at everything you try, you've probably set your sights too low. ' -John Ball
John Ball is an author living with Parkinson's Disease whose 2005 memoir, Living Well, Running Hard, tells the extraordinary tale of his life, his diagnosis of the degenerative disease, and his remarkable decision to return to a sport he enjoyed as a younger man, despite his disease: long-distance running. As of 2008, John Ball had completed 20 marathons and helped raise in excess of $1 million for research to find a cure for Parkinson's Disease.
