Ride with Larry, a film about Parkinson's, bicycling and hope

Ride with Larry, an award-winning and inspiring
documentary playing in the SF DocFest,
answers the question "where do you find the strength to live
when you suffer an incurable disease?" The film follows Larry, who despite
advanced Parkinson's, rides 300 miles across South Dakota to promote the
benefits of exercising and spread a message of hope.  The film shows the power of humor and love for Parkinson's folks
and their families, and touches on medical marijuana as an alternative medicine
for Parkinson's patients.



One of your Pacifica neighbors joined the ride to support Larry - after not having been in a bike for 35 years.  5:30 am killer spin classes and the beach side trail/bike path were the training tools!
