In 2008, after an illustrious career in the NBA, Brian Grant was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinsonâs at the age of 36. As he sought support and resources that could help him live his life to the fullest, he realized that these resources werenât made for someone like him: young, athletic, a parent with kids still at home, the breadwinner. He founded the Brian Grant Foundation in 2010, with the goal to provide resources that could help people like himâwho wanted to use exercise and nutrition to manage and slow their symptoms.
