Boxers with Parkinson's, BwP, is a Washington 501c3 nonprofit organization focused on technology to assess and track the progression of symptoms and the physical capabilities and limitations of people with Parkinson's.
Boxers with Parkinson's was formed in December of 2019. Our first service is PARS, the Parkinson's Assessment & Reporting System, a tablet-based service to standardize and centralize assessments for members of the Rock Steady Boxing network. PARS improves on the professionalism and quality of the assessment providing exciting new insights and trends while saving time for coaches and boxers alike.

President: Michael Sellars.
Mike was a founder of BwP and the driver for the app. He is a "Parkie", a Rock Steady Boxer, coach and affiliate. His professional life was in sales and marketing primarily with high tech companies. His background with IBM drove his interest in converting data for 40,000 Rock Steady boxers from paper to the cloud. Mike is a Rotarian and Paul Harris Fellow. Mike is a boxing for Parkinson's advocate but an exercise for Parkinson's fanatic, and as such, he boxes, plays tennis and bikes.
