My Story…
On August 18th, I'm running the Falmouth Road Race to raise funds and awareness with the Parkinson's Champions. Every dollar raised will go to the Parkinson's Foundation, making life better for people living with Parkinson's disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure.
I'm running for my dad, who is managing Parkinson's disease with determination, grace, and the unwavering support of his family and friends. My dad is not only an athletic icon (having run two full marathons himself), but he's also a best friend and role model who has been there for me through it all. From teaching me to ski, to coaching me in soccer, to trying to get me to enjoy camping (solid effort...), he is a big part of my adventurous spirit, love for the outdoors, and passion for helping others. With every step I take in training and on race day, I'll be thinking of him and the battle he is fighting every day, but never alone. The love and admiration I have for him is indescribable, and I'm honored to have the opportunity to run in support of him.
Parkinson's research has led to promising new treatments and surgeries, and a cure is within reach in years, not decades. Every donation gets us that much closer to the finish line. Thank you for your support!
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!
