Six years ago, Brad was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Following a period of fear and uncertainty, came resilience and resolve. While Parkinson's disease is progressive, Brad’s hard work and daily commitment to movement is meaningfully slowing its advance.
Along Brad’s journey, we found pdLIFE – a Tampa-based nonprofit organization that provides free exercise classes, education and social events for the Parkinson's community.
pdLIFE has provided immense support for Brad and our family, and does so for many others as well. For this reason, “Team Breseman” is joining pdLIFE’s annual Carl Hall Challenge to help raise funds for this incredible mission. A donation to Team Breseman helps pdLIFE offer these programs free of charge to people with Parkinson's.
As Brad’s family, we fight Parkinson's alongside him. Please consider making a contribution by clicking the “Donate Now” button. No amount is too small in helping to make a difference!

About the pdLIFE Challenge:
Honoring Carl Hall: Strength, Leadership, and Lasting Impact
We're proud to be fundraising for ParkinsonLife Corporation in honor of Carl Hall, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and community leader whose life was defined by service, generosity, and resilience.
Carl Hall lived with courage, purpose, and an unwavering belief in community. During his 14-year journey with Parkinson’s disease, he refused to let the diagnosis define him, choosing instead to face each day with resilience, optimism, and determination.
Long before his illness, Carl was a respected business and community leader whose work helped shape the places where people lived and came together. He later served as King of the Krewe of Neptune and helped found the InteKrewe Council, leaving a legacy rooted in connection and civic spirit. His personal experience with Parkinson’s inspired his support of pdLIFE, a nonprofit dedicated to improving quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s and for the families and caregivers who walk alongside them.
The Carl Hall Challenge honors a life marked by perseverance, leadership, and generosity. Through this event, Carl’s legacy lives on—not only in memory, but in meaningful action that supports pdLIFE’s mission and the people it serves.
