My Story…
I’m excited to once again spend the third Sunday in August running the Falmouth Road Race. This year I will continue to support groundbreaking research and essential community programs while going the distance as a Parkinson’s Champion!
As many know, my Dad (Gerry McD. / Poppy) was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2019. While there are meds to aide in symptom control + boxing classes to help with balance, Parkinson’s Disease is unfortunately a progressive disease that currently has no cure.
Having worked as a nurse for over 10 years now, I have seen the unfortunate effects of late- stage Parkinson’s Disease and while it’s hard not to think of this, I would rather spend energy on raising money to support the mission of the Parkinson’s Foundation!
If you aren’t able to donate, no worries. Prayers and good vibes for a much cooler, less humid day than last year are greatly appreciated!
Thank you for joining my family and I in our attempt to PUNCH OUT PARKINSON’S!
❤️ Lindsey
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!
