The 74-year-old public safety supervisor hopes the one-day challenge will encourage others with Parkinson’s disease, he said.
- On Saturday, Bruce Snethen, a 74-year-old public safety supervisor at the Outlets of Des Moines, completed a 100,000-step walk to raise Parkinson's disease awareness and reach a personal milestone.
- Diagnosed with Parkinson's seven years ago, Snethen remains highly active, regularly walking more than 30,000 steps during his typical workdays despite the condition.
- Snethen credits his grandchildren as inspiration, stating, "The more I move voluntarily, the less I move involuntarily" to explain the physical benefits of remaining active.
- Participating in studies at the University of Iowa, Snethen noted, "There's research being done on it all the time" while contributing to ongoing medical research efforts.
- Boxing classes and community resources offer support for those with Parkinson's, as Snethen encourages others facing the condition to remain active and pursue personal milestones.
