Battle with Parkinson's inspires winning shirt

Maura Horton vividly recalls the day four years ago that her husband, former North Carolina State assistant football coach Don Horton, couldn't button his shirt in the locker room after a game.
The effect of Parkinson's disease had impaired his dexterity to the point that he couldn't dress quickly. Embarrassed, he'd had to ask one of his players, Russell Wilson, now a Seattle Seahawks quarterback, for help.

"I knew something was wrong when he came home," she said. "I thought maybe it was a bad game." After he told her what happened, she felt compelled to find a solution for her husband's challenge. "I didn't want him to feel that way ever again," she said.
She began looking for dress shirts that could close more easily. Online, she saw ones with Velcro closures, but the quality seemed poor. She thought magnets might do a better job. If the approach worked, she realized she could create a line of high-end shirts that would allow others with disabling conditions such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis or arthritis to dress independently.
