Welcome to this week's episode of "The YOPN: Living well starts here Podcast", where we share the inspiring stories of people who have overcome incredible challenges and achieved what was thought to be impossible. Today, we bring you the incredible story of Kamal Julka.

 

Kamal Julka was diagnosed with epilepsy over 10 years ago, and just when she thought that was enough to deal with, she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2021 after feeling a tremor in her hand. The progression of the disease came on quickly, causing her to stumble and fall after just 10 feet.

 

But Kamal refused to let her illness define her. Instead, she turned to running and set her sights on the ultimate challenge - the NYC Marathon. With unwavering determination and an unbreakable spirit, Kamal trained hard and pushed herself to the limit to achieve what seemed impossible.

 

Join us as we delve into the inspiring journey of Kamal Julka and learn how she overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to become a true inspiration to us all.
