About

When Brian Hall's symptoms first appeared in 1976, he was only 14 years old. He really had no idea how serious a medical battle, or the possible toll that it might take on him. However, one thing became abundantly clear, that he was now in the fight of his life. 

For the majority of those 45 years, finding a balanced lifestyle and a healthy way to deal with his medical situation was to say at the very least, elusive. Eventually, Brian did find balance by making a commitment to his own unique and unorthodox approach to counteract the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. 

“Not Afraid to Fall,” is an inspirational book and non-fiction work that chronicles Brian's journey with PD from the early onset of the disorder, to the present day. The physical and mental challenges that having this disease poses continues to reaffirm the person that he's become and has defined the very fabric of Brian's being that he is most proud of.

On the outside looking in, some people might think that Parkinson's disease has ruined Brian's life. Quite the contrary! His experience with the disease has undoubtedly impacted and restricted some aspects of how he lives his life. This is to be expected. It also has liberated him in ways that he never could have imagined. The gift in the real-life lessons that PD has taught him, he hopes to share with the many people afflicted with this disease, their caregivers and others that might be suffering from unresolved traumatic issues impacting their lives. 

Not Afraid to Fall includes helpful medical information in addition to Brian‘s extensive experience with Parkinson’s medicines, his family medical history and a first hand account of DBS surgery.

It is not unusual to feel powerless facing a chronic illness like Parkinson's disease. Brian hopes the information which he has shared in his book, will help you to reclaim your power and bring balance back into your life. Readers looking for an inspirational, uplifting story will find self empowerment in the pages of "Not Afraid to Fall."
