Hamburg woman pushes body to limit for Parkinson’s awareness – TWC News

GLENWOOD, N.Y. -- A Parkinson's diagnosis didn't keep one Hamburg woman from taking on the Kissing Bridge Tough Mudder this weekend.

Diane Hastreiter ran the 10-mile version of the obstacle course Saturday.

And she says for her, the challenge provided several benefits.

On one hand, experience has proven that pushing her body to the limit actually reduces her symptoms. And on the other, she also took on the course to raise money and awareness for Parkinson's-centered exercise programs.

They're classes that Hastreiter says helps to break up the isolation that can come with this diagnosis.

"You do get depressed and sometimes we have speaking problems and you just are tired a lot and you don't feel good. You really have to force yourself. So the best I can tell them is to get up and move, said Hastreiter.

She is still collecting donations and will be announcing the final amount soon.
