San Andreas, CA — Sarah Johnson is fighting her way through the difficult disease of Parkinson´s and along the way she is supporting others with the disorder.

Her grassroots organization is the Proactive Parkinson´s Project. Johnson spends her time passing out literature and speaking to families affected by the disease.
A public seminar about Parkinson´s will take place at 10 a.m., May 24 at the Calaveras Senior Center in San Andreas.
