Joe Drake began running marathons shortly after being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2018 at the age of 57. As of April 2025, he's completed 26 marathons including all of the World Marathon Majors (twice!) as well as other long-distance running events. This blog tells of his journey as a marathoner living with Parkinson's disease and as an advocate for exercise as a means to slow the progression of the disease.
