Key Questions for your visit to the Neurologist.

This is one of my favorite pictures from this past weekend.

Debbie and Liz started their laps at our 5K. Debbie started to get tired, so her caregiver gave her a push in her chair for a few laps.

Debbie noticed Liz losing speed and getting tired, so she offered to switch spots and push Liz.

This is a clear example of picking each other up and moving forward, and how we do things here at Body Brain Train.

Great job Debbie and Liz! You inspire us!
