  • Ken Dando is using the power of art to describe his year-and-a-half journey

  • with Parkinson's Disease. When I was diagnosed, it was kind of a big cloud and

  • pretty depressing for a little while and there

  • were some tears. I found for me exercise was really really helpful I've done a

  • lot of exercise and I really feel a lot better since I've been doing the

  • exercise. The 13, that usually is kind of bad luck, right? And in my case, actually

  • the 13 is good because I have...that's people that are behind me. I have six

  • grandchildren, three daughters, three wonderful daughters, three son in laws

  • that are very good guys and a wonderful life so that makes my 13. Dando

  • participates in SHAKE it Up, an art therapy group held twice a month for

  • those dealing with Parkinson's. The group is led by Janice Horn, who was diagnosed

  • with the disease at just 37 years old. To deal with the news

  • Horn turned to art. Horn: "I was very depressed for a long time and art was the one way

  • I was able to express that to people and my- you know- I couldn't tell my family

  • I couldn't tell people I didn't want them to feel bad for me so I was trying

  • to be strong and so I didn't tell them. So that helps a lot so I was able to get

  • the motions out on paper." She says art also helps deal with her

  • tremors. HORN: "The tremor for some reason when I'm drawing or painting it just seems to

  • get so much better, so they actually do a good painting even though I'm tremoring most of the time."

  • Art therapy also provides other benefits to those with Parkinson's. GREENING: "It helps to

  • promote neuroplasticity in the brain so when you're doing something new and

  • you're working with your fine motor skills and you're working on creativity

  • and expressing things that maybe you can't

  • express verbally or with facial expressions anymore, that all helps to

  • challenge your brain and that helps to protect your brain when you're

  • challenging your brain cells, it protects the brain cells." For folks like Ken Dando

  • he's experiencing those benefits and much more thanks to his time in the

  • therapy group. DANDO: "You got to get out and get doing things. The more you do of that the

  • better whatever it is so this is good to kind

  • of get together with a group of people that are the same as you. GREENING: I can hear from the

  • front of the office I can hear conversation and laughter and that's

  • really what we want to see that they're enjoying themselves and they're having

  • an outlet to create and share their experiences with each other." Programs

  • like these are funded through events like the Parkinson Canada's super walk

  • The 2017 Winnipeg edition takes place September 9th at the U of M's max Bell

  • Centre Fieldhouse.
