So my grandpa has Parkinson's disease and one of the cool treatments that he does is he goes to a special boxing gym in Las Vegas that's designed just for people with Parkinson's and they like box and jump rope and do all kinds of stuff like that to help treat their Parkinson's and it's helped him a lot. He's been able to do a lot of things that most people with Parkinson's can't do.
