My Story…
Hello everyone and thank you for finding my fundraising page!
I will be raising $1500 and running a 10k race in Falmouth, Cape Cod on August 17th, 2025. All donations will go to the Parkinsons foundation to help research medications, fight the disease, and find a cure!
I am raising the money and racing for my father Jim who has battled Parkinson's Disease for a little over 15 years now. I can recall when my dad was first diagnosed with Parkinson's. I didn't really understand what it was, or how it affected the mind or body. As the years pushed on, so did the disease. Over those years my father was stripped of his favorite activities and his ability to move independently. Nonetheless, my dad and others fighting Parkinson's are the strongest, most unyielding people I know, and there are always valuable lessons to learn from them each day.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story! Now let's shake Parkinson's out of here!
Love ya Dad!
(P.S. we still have tons of fun as you can see in the profile pic:)
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!
