No pressure… right? Mark will leave you with five adaptive principles that will help you abolish FAD in your life. www.findneurohelp.org #Parkinson #Parkinson's #Neuroscience #TEDx #TEDTalk #TEDxStGeorge #Health #acceptance Mark is a Certified Relocation Professional and licensed California Real Estate Broker with extensive experience relocating more than 15,000 families, 300 businesses, 100 warehousing and distribution centers, and 100 science laboratories globally.

@@MarkColo123 You're easy to love, brother. Thank you for being my teacher.
Mark is an old family friend who gave us a call today and mentioned he'd given this talk. More than a lifetime of lessons in 11 minutes. Life is unfair, complicated, and messy. 🙂 Exceptional job, Mark!
Mark - amazing talk. It’s as powerful now as it was the night I saw it live!!!!
You have been my largest advocate since this journey began. Thank you for your friendship and advice.
I was diagnosed in 2018, I hope this gentleman had dbs surgery. His tremor will be gone and he will get a better quality of life ❤ I was scheduled for dbs Dec 6th but it was cancelled.
