One ‘yes’ launched rock-climbing program for people with Parkinson’s

A Parkinson’s patient, Jonathan Lessin, was repeatedly denied access to rock climbing gyms until one accepted him, leading to the creation of Up Ending Parkinson’s, a nonprofit connecting people with Parkinson’s to climbing programs. The initiative aims to help patients maintain movement and coordination through climbing, supported by experts like Katherine Ambrose, who highlights its physical and cognitive benefits.
