She is an internationally known Speaker, and PD Advocate who wrote, “I’ll Hold Your Hand So You Won’t Fall – A Child’s Guide to Parkinson’s Disease”, inspired by her children and her father.
Dr. Deanna Brown Thomas is daughter of the legendary “Godfather of Soul” James Brown, a humanitarian, entrepreneur, radio & TV personality, actress, writer, and President of The James Brown Family Foundation (JBFF). Dr. Brown Thomas was named Ambassador for “Feed the Hungry” because of her continuous work to provide food to those who are food insecure.
Shelby Hall comes from a family history of off-road racing excellence. She is a proud multi-time Baja 1000 class champion, Rebelle Rally X-Cross winner, business owner, and athlete. Her grandfather, Rod Hall, was a pioneer in off-road motorsports and set many records. Rod was diagnosed with a Parkinsonian disease in 2014, and continued to race alongside his son, Chad Hall, and Shelby, until his final race in 2017 at age 80.
