	Keeping Moving - Exercise and Parkinson's Booklet and DVD by Richard Webber and Bhanu Ramaswamy Produced in the UK and distributed previously only through the Parkinson's Disease Society in the UK. The book has sections for exercises in lying, sitting and standing positions, making it a valuable resource for all levels of fitness. Available now $20 inc GST and postage Please call 1800 644 189 to order your copy ! The Icecream Boy Peter Dawkins, who had a stellar career in music production, has suffered from Parkinson's disease now for some 20 years and he has been through the mill. He fought hard to keep working in the face of increasingly severe symptoms, but had to stop. Peter was one of the first patients in Australia to undergo deep brain stimulation, but it had limited success for him and, after a couple of years, he had the surgery re-done, this time successfully. Peter has written his autobiography, published by Parkinson's NSW, titled The Icecream Boy. It's a ripping yarn about being immersed in music, as well as coping with PD. The book, a 110-pp paperback (with colour illustrations), is being offered by Parkinson's NSW at $24.95, including GST, plus $6 for postage and packaging. A compilation of some of Peter's most famous music productions, on CD, is included in the price, so the package is a snap. Please call 1800 644 189 to order your copy ! Living Well, Running Hard by John Ball John Ball has written an intimate and inspiring story of his life with Parkinson's disease. Living Well, Running Hard provides the reader with insights into Ball's growth from isolation into a leadership role in the Parkinson's community. His long struggle to understand the disease provides the reader with an in-depth look at the complexities of Parkinson's. His transition is triggered by a childhood desire to run a marathon. 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 ten years, raising more than half a million dollars toward research for a cure. Purchase online
