Nuestro primer hijo nació en 2016, y con dos niños pequeños, de repente me enfrenté al desafío de equilibrar la paternidad con las realidades de vivir con Parkinson. A pesar de los obstáculos, sigo comprometido a estar presente para mi familia y a encontrar fuerzas en cada nuevo día. Este camino ha transformado mi perspectiva sobre la vida, la resiliencia y la importancia del apoyo de los seres queridos."
