Hi Everyone! I'm excited to run the Falmouth Road Race again this August for the Parkinson's Foundation. As many know, my Dad (Gerard, Gerry McD, Poppy) was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease ~5 years ago. Recently, Michael J. Fox referred to Parkinson's as a "disease of devastation" as it is unfortunately a progressive neurological disease, that currently has no cure. This is my drive to fundraise for the Parkinson's' Foundation and run 7 miles on the third Sunday in August!
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!
Thank you for continuing 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.
