Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
I will be running the Falmouth Road Race on August 18, 2024 on team Parkinson's Champions. My goal is $3,000, as I raised $2,800 in 2022.
I applied to be a member of this team as my mom was diagnosed with Parkinson's just a few years ago. Although she is finding the combination of medication and movement to help, it impacts her whole life. There is a big unknown of how fast or how slow it will progress, as well as what areas it will impact the most.
By making a donation, you will help the Parkinson's Foundation provide resources, and support, as well as advocate and help improve care and increase access to quality of life programming.
Approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease each year. Over 930,000 people in the US, and 10 million people worldwide live each day with PD. The number in the US is expected to grow to 1.2 million by 2030.

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!
