Living Well, Running Hard offers insight into Balls growth from isolation into a leadership role in the Parkinsons community. His long struggle to understand the disease provides an in-depth look at the complexities of Parkinsons.

In spite of his diagnosis, Ball has continued to run the Los Angeles Marathon each of the last fifteen years.

Intimate and inspiring, Living Well, Running Hard communicates one mans story of perseverance and triumph.
