Ep. 110: Jimmy Choi - From a Life-Altering Diagnosis to American Ninja Warrior
Manage episode 295016041 series 2537642
Jimmy Choi joins me to talk about his journey from being diagnosed with young onset Parkinson’s disease when he was 27 to the motivational speaker and American Ninja Warrior that he is today. He is an extraordinary human being who managed to step out of an 8 year battle through darkness and mental struggle about a diagnosis that would forever change his life. To say that he is one of a kind would be an understatement.
He works hard everyday to outpace his current self and that is the most important thing that any of us can do. This is not just about Parkinson’s. At the end of this hour, you will be inspired and you will go about your day looking out for yourself and wanting to go beyond your comfort zone and overcome your own obstacles.
I’d love to know what you think. Please share it with your friends and family, and be sure to tag me if you share it on social media so that I can say thank you. I’m @christinastars on Instagram and @ChristinaRasmussen2014 on Facebook.
More About Jimmy Choi:
Jimmy Choi is a technology consultant and motivational speaker from Bolingbrook, Illinois. Choi was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease at the age of 27, and has since become an active advocate for the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Since then, Jimmy has participated in multiple clinical trials to further research for better treatments and hopefully a cure for PD. Physical therapy led him to running and other activities that help him physically and mentally. He joined Team Fox in 2012, and ran in his first marathon that year -- and he hasn't stopped since. In July 2017, he took on a new challenge and competed on NBC’s “American Ninja Warrior” to show the world that Parkinson’s will not stop him.
Jimmy maintains a very active lifestyle, having competed in over 100 half marathons, 15 full marathons, one ultra-marathon, six Grand Fondo rides, multiple Spartan Races and countless 5K and 10K runs. To date, he has raised more than $240,000 for Parkinson's research with Team Fox... and counting.
