Brendan has lived a life of adventure that has not changed since his diagnosis with Parkinson\u2019s in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He believes strongly in lifelong learning and an active lifestyle to keep both the mind and body healthy. When he is not working Brendan and his spouse enjoy a variety of outdoor activities including hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing, and camping, accompanied by their dogs. They enjoy a rural lifestyle in the foothills of the Rockies, as well as learning about other cultures, having travelled to all corners of the globe. As a pickleball enthusiast, Brendan has competed in the Alberta Master\u2019s Games, so be warned: he is always trying to recruit fresh players, especially those from the Parkinson\u2019s community! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brendan is a professional engineer by trade and as an eternal optimist by nature, he uses his sense of humour to face life\u2019s challenges. Coming from a family of nurses, he has inherited the ability to relate well to people. Brendan is especially passionate about service and support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is most interested in helping those in the Parkinson\u2019s community with fall prevention and improved long-term care facilities monitoring. Brendan believes advanced technology will soon be commonplace so that the daily monitoring of Parkinson\u2019s symptoms can benefit both the neurologist and the person living with Parkinson\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brendan sees this as an exciting time to be involved with Parkinson Canada and wants to ensure that more Albertans are aware of its benefits by collaborating with the Parkinson Association of Alberta. There is so much hope through innovative research worldwide and the strong commitment of the Parkinson community.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brendan a v\u00e9cu une vie d’aventure qui n’a pas chang\u00e9 depuis son diagnostic de la maladie de Parkinson en 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Il croit fermement \u00e0 l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie et \u00e0 un mode de vie actif pour garder l’esprit et le corps en bonne sant\u00e9. Lorsqu’il ne travaille pas, Brendan et son \u00e9pouse pratiquent diverses activit\u00e9s de plein air, notamment la randonn\u00e9e, le cyclisme, le ski de fond et le camping, accompagn\u00e9s de leurs chiens. Ils appr\u00e9cient un mode de vie rural dans les contreforts des Rocheuses, ainsi que la d\u00e9couverte d’autres cultures, ayant voyag\u00e9 aux quatre coins du monde. Passionn\u00e9 de pickleball, Brendan a particip\u00e9 aux Jeux des ma\u00eetres de l’Alberta. Soyez donc pr\u00e9venus : il cherche toujours \u00e0 recruter de nouveaux joueurs, en particulier ceux de la communaut\u00e9 Parkinson !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brendan est ing\u00e9nieur de m\u00e9tier et, \u00e9ternel optimiste de nature, il utilise son sens de l’humour pour relever les d\u00e9fis de la vie. Issu d’une famille d’infirmi\u00e8res, il a h\u00e9rit\u00e9 de sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00e9tablir de bonnes relations avec les gens. Brendan est particuli\u00e8rement passionn\u00e9 par le service et le soutien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Il souhaite avant tout aider les personnes atteintes de la maladie de Parkinson \u00e0 pr\u00e9venir les chutes et \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer la surveillance des \u00e9tablissements de soins de longue dur\u00e9e. Brendan pense que les technologies de pointe seront bient\u00f4t monnaie courante et que le suivi quotidien des sympt\u00f4mes de la maladie de Parkinson sera b\u00e9n\u00e9fique \u00e0 la fois pour le neurologue et pour la personne atteinte de la maladie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brendan consid\u00e8re qu’il s’agit d’une p\u00e9riode passionnante pour Parkinson Canada et souhaite s’assurer que davantage d’Albertains sont conscients de ses avantages en collaborant avec l’Association de la maladie de Parkinson de l’Alberta. La recherche innovante men\u00e9e dans le monde entier et l’engagement fort de la communaut\u00e9 des parkinsoniens sont porteurs de beaucoup d’espoir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":107,"template":"","class_list":["post-45245","profile","type-profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parkinson.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/45245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parkinson.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parkinson.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.parkinson.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/107"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.parkinson.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/45245\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48723,"href":"https:\/\/www.parkinson.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/45245\/revisions\/48723"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.parkinson.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parkinson.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
