I got my smile back..

Carl Beech creator of the BeechBand and someone living with Young-Onset Parkinson’s, Carl went from losing his ability to speak, walk normally, and control his body.. to calming his symptoms and getting his voice, his movement, and his smile back.

From tapping on his arm one day, Carl had an epiphany which became the device everyone in the Parkinson’s community is talking about – the Beechband. The day Carl felt hope again.

Diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis (MS), at the age of 32 in 2008, it was a day that freed Ben but also told him that things were going to be tough. The one thought that came through was just hold on. Participating in marathons, and becoming a teacher, the pain that started all of this has since created the happiness he now has..

Ps never forget, the world is always better with you in it.

MS is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the central nervous system where the immune system damages the myelin sheath protecting nerves, disrupting brain-body communication.

Troy Noak is formerly an avid no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitor, Troy’s road back to the mats has been anything but straightforward. While drilling takedowns in preparation for competition, he fractured his patella; but it was what came after that truly tested him.

Eager to return to his previous workload after three months of physical therapy, Troy pushed too hard too soon and ruptured his hamstring.

What followed was a year-long physical recovery, and an even longer mental battle that proved more challenging than the injury itself. Facing himself, Troy shows just how your life can change when you show up to your fears..

Troy is a presenter and video editor for Sleeper Fantasy and a business management student at NYU.
