Episode 011- Guest Tracy McBee on Telling your Story - Mark In The Park Podcast

Welcome to Mark In The Park — a podcast about life, not just Parkinson’s. Hosted by Mark Milow, aka MarkInThePark21, this is a space where honesty meets optimism, and everyday moments matter just as much as the big ones.This week’s guest is Tracy McBee, known as “Snarky Mommy” on social media.  Tracy’s Bio reads:“Diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2018, Tracy has become a true champion for the PD community. It was actually her nephew, a former Golden Gloves Champion and then Rock Steady Boxing coach, who first noticed her symptoms and encouraged her to see a neurologist. From that first visit, she walked away with a copy of the inspiring book 'Every Victory Counts,' Tracy found her passion.Fast forward to June 2025, and Tracy became an ambassador with the Davis Phinney Foundation, now enthusiastically sharing the 'Every Victory Counts' message with others. She's not just talking-the-talk – she's deeply involved in research trials, support groups, and events like Pedaling for Parkinson’s. Tracy truly believes in living life to the fullest with PD, even picking up snowboarding when skiing got a bit tricky. She's the heart behind what she calls the S.N.A.R.K.Y. Parky Support Community – that's Safe/Support, Networking, Advocacy, Resources, Knowledge, and Your Voice.Tracy's personal mantra really says it all: 'You may be a person with Parkinson’s but you’re so much more.”The Davis Phinney Website:https://davisphinneyfoundation.org/     *     *     *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *     *     *    *     *    *Want to know more about Parkinson’s Disease, you will find great resources at the Parkinson’s Foundation website or by calling their hotline below:1-800-4PD-INFO (1-800-473-4636)www.parkinson.orgIf you have a question or suggestion for the podcast, or would like me to speak at an event, you can reach me at [email protected] .  You can also check out my website www.markinthepark21.com Thank you for listening!  Please Like, Subscribe and tell a friend if you enjoyed the show!  Music by James Wigley 👏Special thanks to my BFF Nikki ❤️And to the one who helped me find light in the darkness, I will always be thankful!#Parkinsons #Tenacity #YOPD #Inspiration #Resilience #Hope #Fun #WPC #DadJoke
