On August 17th I will be running with the Parkinson's Champions at the Falmouth Road Race to raise awareness about Parkinson's Disease (PD).
Over three years ago, my very fit athletic father was diagnosed with PD. It has not been easy to watch him navigate this new way of living.
Daily exercise can significantly improve the quality of life of people living with PD. My dad goes to weekly PD classes which includes boxing and other exercises for people living with PD and it has helped him.
Exercise is a huge part of my life as well and I hope by running in the Falmouth Road Race I can help to raise more awareness about PD.
Please help me raise $1,500 by September 30th. Every dollar raised provides essential resources for the over 1 million people in the US (and more worldwide) living with Parkinson’s disease.
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!
