It was then that he had to deal with the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, just before he turned forty years old. In this memoir, Ball narrates his story of how he has lived with Parkinson's disease and how he has worked to create a better life for others struggling with difficult diagnoses and debilitating diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLiving Well, Running Hard\u003c\/i\u003e offers insight into Ball's growth from isolation into a leadership role in the Parkinson's community. His long struggle to understand the disease provides an in-depth look at the complexities of Parkinson's. Ball tells how his transition was triggered by a childhood desire to run a marathon and how his love of running, his desire to take action, and his willingness to take on challenges come together in the formation of Team Parkinson. In spite of his diagnosis, Ball has continued to run the Los Angeles Marathon each of the last fifteen years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntimate and inspiring, \u003ci\u003eLiving Well, Running Hard\u003c\/i\u003e communicates one man's story of perseverance and triumph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Ball\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1462014321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781462014323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"John Ball","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936031506687,"sku":"9781462014323","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5db7be80-d359-48b2-a7d5-b365ed4f17ac.jpg?v=1681423214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-well-running-hard-john-ball-9781462014323","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
