Virtual Coffee Break with The Michael J. Fox Foundation | Thursday, August 27th at 10:00am EDT (New York)

Registration Link – https://primetime.bluejeans.com/a2m/register/egqpdfzs

The program includes a 30-minute research update, a cameo by Nenad Bach and PingPongParkinson followed by an interactive Q&A portion with other members of your community.

“Nenad, Who Plays Ping Pong” is a short film about my passion for ping pong and using it to help those afflicted with Parkinson’s. It is an Official Selection of 2020 Mountainfilm Festival, and was chosen Daily Short Pick on FilmShortage.com, May 27th, 2020.

The film is touring and was screened last week in Sao Paulo, Brazil and will be touring August 24-26 in Southampton, New York, US. You can get more information here.

We are now fortunate to have the film subtitled in 15 languages.

Brandon Lavoie, who directed the film is on the 2020 shortlist for Best Young Director.

Produced by Barbara Kopple, a two time Oscar winner.

Thank you Butterfly for supplying our New York and New Jersey PingPongParkinson Chapters with the paddles so we can hit the ground running. Butterfly was with me from day one, always supportive. I am writing these few words with gratitude and joy in my heart. Our sessions are meticulously safe, from measuring the temperature of everybody stepping into the club to the mandate of wearing a mask at all time. We disinfect all paddles (that is why it is important to have our own) as well as all balls before and after the session. Doubles are not played at the moment and the distance of at least 6 feet is strictly observed without exception. We successfully started on August 19th 2020. Wish us luck.

Our program is supported by a 2020 Community Grant from the Parkinson’s Foundation.

Instructional Videos for PingPongParkinson are starting to become a reality. We found a great partner in Aerobic Table Tennis.

Filmed and edited by Steve Rowe:

My friend, Thorsten Boomhuis recently created a video promoting the positive effects of ping pong for those who have Parkinson’s. The video also features my song “I Love Ping Pong.” You can check it out here (in German).

My new album “World Peace In One Hour”, is a live album featuring the King Street Big Band is wrapping up and will be headed to press shortly. Ordering details to follow, and it will also be available on vinyl.

My songs “Vukovar” “Everything is Forever” and “I Will Follow” were recently played by musical genius Pete Jones on his radio program in London. The songs received many positive comments and promises by listeners to check out my music.
