June Kincheloe is proud to serve on the Board for Parkinson's Group of the Ozarks. After her husband Don was diagnosed in February 2022, June did what she does best—ferociously fight for her loved ones. She sprang into action looking for every available resource that would help navigate this new diagnosis. While a shock to the family, they provided much-needed answers and helped inspire June to advocate on a broader scale.
June was relieved to find out that the Parkinson’s community in the region was active and vibrant. “As quickly as the diagnosis impacted our lives, things like Rock Steady Boxing gave us hope and support. I can’t imagine doing this without everyone we’ve met along the way.” June also helped form a support group for Rock Steady spouses. She looks forward to this time, laughing, crying, and sharing the experiences that binds them together.
June has lived in Springfield all her life, working for the past 23 years for Mercy Health Systems in Contracts and Pricing. She has two happily married daughters and one incredible granddaughter. Her daughter Amanda can frequently be seen as Don’s corner person in boxing class. She enjoys planning family gatherings and decorating projects. June considers this appointment to the PGO Board as a privilege, and she can’t wait to begin providing support to the Parkinson’s community. “I look forward to doing whatever is needed to keep the fight against Parkinson’s going forward.”
