My Story…
I’m running the 2023 Falmouth Road Race with my brother Steve and my daughter Ashley in order to raise funds for the Parkinsons Foundation.
I am 72 years old and recently was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (from a DatScan). I have had some tremors for about three years and believe that exercising vigorously has kept them at bay. When I turned 70, I did my first triathlon (olympic distance: 1 mile swim, 25 mile bike, 6.3 mile run). I'm very active in running, biking, climbing/hiking, swimming, upper body workouts and recently shadow boxing, all of which have been shown to help reduce Parkinson's symptoms. We hope that by running this iconic road race, we can help shed light on the benefits of exercise for PD, inspiring others with the disease, and raise much needed funds to help better understand and cure this disease. Please help us attain our goal!
Description
I'm ready to run.
I'm running to raise funds and awareness with the Parkinson's Champions. I'm challenging myself to run the marathon to support the Parkinson’s Foundation.
The Parkinson's Foundation makes life better for people living with Parkinson's disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. Studies show that 2.5 hours of weekly exercise along with medication, can significantly improve quality of life for people living with Parkinson's. We run and will continue to run for people with Parkinson's because this disease not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Every dollar counts, thank you for your support!
