from The Parkinson's Experience podcast · host 17 Branches

$41M, 41 days, 2800 miles. Those are the stats for Team Human Potential who competed in the World's Toughest Row. The boat race happens annually and showcases teams of four, rowing across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii. Patrick Morrisey with Team Human Potential became the first person with Parkinson's to finish the race. They raised over $41M for the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's research. Amazing. We spoke with Patrick and his skipper, Brendan Cusick about their experiences, challenges, commitment, and learnings on the trip. What did it reveal about working together and becoming close brothers in the end? How did Patrick manage his symptoms while rowing and living on a small boat for 41 days? What did they learn about their mental and physicial limitations? What's next? Listen on to enjoy some time with this engaging, generous and courageous team. https://humanpoweredpotential.org/ https://www.dbsandme.com/en.html
