Team Riggle to host events to benefit Parkinson's disease

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

The Team Riggle Foundation will be hosting two events to benefit early-onset Parkinson's disease research on Saturday, Nov. 10. The event will be split into two parts.

The first part will be a tennis mixer from 1-5 p.m. at the indoor tennis center on DePauw University's campus. The second part will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Inn at DePauw's conference room and will consist of a buffet dinner. Internationally renowned blues and soul singer Tad Robinson will perform starting at 8 p.m.

Interested participants can join in for one or both events. Registration for the tennis mixer is $25, the dinner and concert is $50 or both for $75.

Scott Riggle, the president of the Team Riggle Foundation, was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's disease in September of 2010. With the help of his wife Jenny and their friends Keith and Annette Waterman, they have started the Team Riggle Foundation in an effort to raise money and awareness to fight this disease. There is currently no cure for Parkinson's disease, a degenerative condition which, among other things, leads to tremors, rigidity and loss of muscle control.

Scott Riggle is a patient at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minn. and plans to support the Mayo Clinic researchers with the funds raised by various events the Team Riggle Foundation puts on.

For more information or to sign up for the events, email Jenny Riggle at jennyjriggle@gmail.com. To register, include full name of attendee, additional guests, address, phone number and registration fee.

Checks should be mailed by Thursday, Nov. 1 to Team Riggle at 860 Robin Wood Pl., Greencastle. Tickets will not be mailed out, but held at the door.

  • My husband was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's disease at 67. His symptoms were shuffling of feet, slurred speech, low volume speech, degradation of handwriting, horrible driving skills, and his right arm is held at 45 degree angle. He was placed on Sinemet for 7 months and then Sifrol and rotigotine were introduced which replaced the Sinemet but he had to stop due to side effects. We tried every shot available but nothing was working. There has been little if any progress in finding a reliable treatment, I quit my meds due to side effects. Our care provider introduced us to Kycuyu Health Clinic Parkinson’s herbal treatment. The treatment is a miracle. My husband has recovered significantly! Visit www. kycuyuhealthclinic. co m

  • I was diagnosed of Parkinson’s disease. After years on medications, symptoms worsened with tremors on my right hand, numbness and tingling, muscle weakness and loss of speech. Fortunately last year, i learnt about Health Herbs Clinic and their Parkinson’s disease alternative treatment ( healthherbsclinic . com ), the Parkinson’s disease treatment made a great difference, most of my symptoms including tremors, weakness and others gradually disappeared. I improved greatly over the 6 months treatment, it’s been a years since the treatment, i have no symptoms. I have a very good quality of life and a supportive family!

  • My grandma has Parkinson’s disease, she is about 75 years old it was detected 7 years ago. Right now it’s getting more difficult to live for her, because of stiff muscles she can’t even move. L-dopa and carbidopa medicines are given, but won"t give much relief. She can"t eat food and the skin is damaging forming ganglia. I thought this might be the last stage and the medications she was given did not help at all, so I started to do alot of research on natural treatments and came across Parkinson’s Herbal Treatment from Health Natural Centre In Hawaii ( healthnaturalcentre.org ), the treatment has made a very huge difference for her. Her symptoms including body weakness and her tremors disappeared after few months on the treatment. She is getting active again since starting this treatment, she is able to walk again ( down the street and back ) and able to ride her treadmill again. God Bless all PD Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength.

  • Sending Prayers and Support❤️.. My Husband had Parkinson's disease and was dealing with shakes, stiffness and balance issues – it was like his body was in rebellion. Meds ( Levodopa ) and therapies were not doing much, so we thought about trying alternative methods as we heard interesting stories about Ayurvedic herbs with this disease. We explored the path and it changed his life with all symptoms totally reversed - Shakes calmed down, stiffness took a hike. My husband is living proof that natural Ayurvedic herbs can be a game-changer in the face of Parkinson's as he is totally cured and fine now. The journey wasn't always smooth, but the results speak for themselves. If anyone out there is facing a similar battle, consider giving Ayurvedic herbs a shot. We got the Ayurvedic herbs which cured him from naturalherbscentre. com I recommend Ayurvedic treatment from Natural Herbs Centre for Parkinson’s disease This is how my husband reversed his PD. This isn’t some scam or some made up nonsense.
