Parkinson’s Unity Walk 2026! Thanks @michaeljfoxorg for inviting us the second year in a row to perform on stage. Thanks to all our PD athletes, Moving Brains staff and student volunteers from @cunyedu who showed up. It means the world to us. It was also great meeting new and old friends, and we still missed many people! Moving Brains is for people with Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions who expect more, and want it now! Challenge yourself and join us! #movingbrainsfoundation #movingbrainsfightclub #movingbrainsmovementlab #movingbrainsatasteofdance #movingbrainsdancingsouls

Moving Brains has a lot to celebrate and a lots of people to thank in 2025! Excited and looking forwards to Moving Brains Together 2026! We surpassed our goal of $15,000 with the online campaigns and private donations, which will be matched by a private donor! Thank you to everyone who contributed. Your belief in our vision means the world! There is still chance to support and donate! We mean business and we got the stats to prove it! We’ll soon post our year in review (no space here!) but with your continued support we’ll continue expanding to get to your neighborhood and add more fighters to our roster. This year our family grew, we made new friends and mostly importantly, our fighters added quality years to their lives by becoming stronger and more resilient themselves. We were lucky enough to witness their hard work and dedication, and to them, we toast for a stronger and healthier 2026! To Alan, Altagracia, Angela, Art, Beth, Blossom, Christian, Doug, Ed, Eloise, Fabiola, Fimia, Francisco J., Francisco P., Janet, Joan, Joe, Jon, Jonathan, Judy, Karen, Keith, Larry, Lisa, Maria, Miguel, Miwa, Nazario, Pat, Paul, Pedro S., Pedro V., Rachel, Rafael, Raul, Silvia, Susie, Tom, Victor M., Victor S. and Virginia. HAPPY NEW YEAR! From the Moving Brains Family: Jose, John, Angie, Djibril, Nick, Jason, Bethina and all the other trainers, people and groups that support us! #movingbrainsfoundation #movingbrainsfightclub #movingbrainsmovementlab #movingbrainsdancingsouls #movingbrainsatasteofdance

Happy Holidays to everyone! I am home recovering from the December rush and starting to reflect on this past year. I had 3 back-to-back Saturday events in December as a ringside physician in Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA, and a busy 2025 throughout. 6 Muay Thai Madness events in @johnsboxinggym 6 Extreme Cage Fighting (ECF) in @amazuranyc 2 Freedom Fights starting in October Thanks to everyone who supported me and hired me for my help, including the promoters, coaches, everyone at the ISKA including the referees, the state commission, all my assistants and mostly importantly the fighters, who trusted me to be there if they needed me in victory or defeat. Concussions, few broken bones, many cuts but no serious, life-threatening injuries this year! To an even safer 2026! #ringsidephysician #movingbrainsfightteam #muaythaimadness #ecf #freedomfights

Moving Brains Together 2026. It was an honor to meet @raydorseymd , bestselling author of “The Parkinson’s Plan”. He brought us signed copies and we responded in kind by inviting him to train with us in Trinity’s dungeon! No worries. The air quality was good, and he looked great afterwards! Together we’re knocking out Parkinson’s out! 1st pic: Dr. Ray Dorsey + Djibril Diakite, pro boxer and MB trainer and fitness instructor. 2nd pic: Dr. Jose Cabassa, founder of MB, Movement Disorders specialist, and John Duddy “The Derry Destroyer”, MB athletic director, former WBC Continental Americas and IBA Middleweight Champion 3rd pic: Dr. Ray Dorsey + Angie Lee, MB director of volunteer services. 4th pic: Moving Brains Family!
