One day in the summer of 2020, at the age of 59, shortly before retiring as a teacher, Toni Gornals Mesquida Pubil (Porreres, 1960) received news that would change his life. A "new companion" would be by his side for life and it had a name as familiar as it was unexpected. Who hasn't heard of or pronounced the word Parkinson's upon seeing a trembling hand? We speak with this man from Porreres who faces a chronic and progressive disease with extra energy and without canceling any of the plans he had always thought of doing upon retirement. On the contrary, he signs up for everything to keep the disease at bay.
