Ping Pong For Parkinson’s in NE Portland on Wednesdays — It’s Live!

If you’ve got Parkinson’s and are looking for a ping pong game in Northeast Portland, we’ve got you covered.

Every Wednesday from 10am to noon, we’re playing at Fremont United Methodist Church, 2620 NE Fremont Street in Portland.

And it’s free, which is a very good price for table tennis.

I’m Phil Bernstein

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease on May 25, 2023. At the time, I was only vaguely aware of Parkinson’s — primarily from articles in People about Michael J. Fox. And I didn’t know anyone with the disease.

Now, I know a lot more about the illness, and I’ve joined the Parkinson’s community in my hometown of Portland, Oregon.

I’ve found that writing helps me think through challenges, and this illness definitely qualifies as a challenge. I’ve started Shakin’ Street to help me think through the various obstacles, tools, and resources that a newly-diagnosed Parkinson’s patient encounters along the way.

I hope some of these posts help you address and tackle your own challenges.
