My Story…
Hi Everyone!
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I am running the Falmouth Road Race this August in support of the Parkinson's Foundation.
In April of this year, my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. If you've known me for even a short amount of time, it is obvious how important my dad is to me. He has been my best friend, #1 supporter, and greatest confidant for all 31 years of my life. There are few conversations I have where I do not draw a parallel to something that reminds me of him or something that he has taught me, either through words or actions. He has been a role model to me for too many things to detail here, but one of the most relevant has been importance of exercise - now more than ever.
The Parkinson's Foundation is a great resource for patients and families navigating a Parkinson's diagnosis and treatment. I've learned a lot from them in the past couple of months and am inspired to run Falmouth with so many other effected by this disease.
Thank you for any and all support!
Emma
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!
