Meet Fast Johnny

John Pistacchi was diagnosed with PD 7 years ago. His weapon of choice for slowing progression has been attending Rock Steady Boxing sessions 4-5 days per week for the past 6 years. At 75, with his boxing nickname “Fast Johnny” he feels that you must keep moving and the more balanced your program is the better your odds are for staying upright.

He therefore recently joined NeuroLab 360 to supplement his boxing regime with virtual balance sessions. John also believes that keeping the mind active is as important as keeping the body moving. Toward that goal and to keep in touch with his fellow boxers during the lockdown, John started posting weekly observations. These short stories featured the lighter side of suddenly finding yourself with the love of your life 24/7 while adapting to masks, hoarding and COVID protocols.

These proved popular enough that he has published them in a series of 2 books available on Amazon.com (search for john r pistacchi) and Barnes and Noble. John donates 100% of proceeds to Parkinson organizations.
