We had a visit from Congressman Darin LaHood today. He was excited to learn more about our program at Rock Steady Boxing Peoria.

Congressman LaHood joined Congressman Brian Higgins in introducing bipartisan legislation, H.R. 6774 – Boxing Therapy for Parkinson’s Access Act of 2022 which calls upon the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to provide coverage for boxing-based exercise classes to military veterans living with Parkinson disease.

Our fighters were happy to show him how they fight back against Parkinson's. Thank you Congressman LaHood for your support!
