Walking with Parkinson's | Will Boag | TEDxKatoomba
Will weaves an inspiring and witty tale about his life after being diagnosed with Parkinson's. This is a story of courage, spousal support and walking!
This talk was given at TEDxKatoomba on 30th June 2023
Live production & filming by KFM Media Will was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2010 and told that his life would deteriorate slowly but dramatically. Being a person who strongly believes in confronting issues, he responded by donning a ‘Walking for Parkinson’s’ sign on his back and conquering the Camino de Compostela.
Will Boag raises money for Shakeitup, a Parkinson’s Research charity founded by Clyde Campbell. Will and his wife Corrie have been doing this for 10 years raising over $60,000. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I'm most impressed Will! Great talk. Thank you.
This is a really good description of how walking is for me. I am 84 years old. My PD has made walking more and more difficult. I was diagnosed officially 3 years ago but in hindsight I my PD has been with me for 10 or more years my Doctors did not mention it. My first time hearing about it was from a physical therapist. Even after this the doctors still can't always see the PD.
You're an inspiration Will. Sending you and Corrie lots of love. Miss spending time with you guys. So nice to see your talk. ❤
William, your talk is simply wonderful: inspirational honest and informative; authentic and beautifully spoken❤❤❤
