My Story…
Hello All,
I am running in the Falmouth Road Race (7 miles) on August 20, 2023 with Team Parkinson’s Champions to raise awareness and funds to support the Parkinson’s Foundation and also to honor my amazing mother Pauline.
My mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about 3 1/2 years ago at the age of 81. At first, the disease progressed slowly and I had thought at the time that it was not so bad. But as time went on, my family and I have seen first-hand the degenerative and degrading effects that this disease has on both the body and mind.
We all continue to savor the moments of a good conversation with mom or seeing her laugh until her eyes tear up and hope to for many more years! We love you Mom!
Thanks for your consideration and please donate if you can to help the Parkinson’s Foundation make life better for people living with Parkinson's disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure.
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!
