Overview

To bring Personal One-on-One training to People afflicted with neurodegenerative musculoskeletal disorders (ie. Parkinsons Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, ALS, etc)  We will create an environment that will welcome all those affected and will benefit from regular physical training with specific emphasis on training muscles and movement that will positively impact overall life and  activities of Daily living (Balance, Walking, Climbing Stairs, Dressing) . The  Grant money from The Pepsi Corporation, will afford us the ability to acquire suitable space to build a state of the art facility outfitted with equipment that will be suitable for the training of the population that we are aiming to impact. In addition to the grant  allowing us to build a physical location we will use a portion of the monies to grant “scholarships”  based on financial need in order to make the Project Goal available to as many people as possible.
