Twice a week, for an hour-long session, the YMCA (Y) Rock Steady Boxing (RSB) champions put on their boxing gloves and their smiles, pound on heavy punching bags and punching balls and pull on pulleys to the beat of rock music. The camaraderie between the boxers is contagious. The YMCA of the Chesapeake’s group of 26 boxers with Parkinson’s Disease (PD)are a part of the RSB program that includes 43,500 other Parkinson’s boxers in training in 871 other affiliate programs worldwide.
