My Story…
This August I will be running the Falmouth Road Race on the Parkinson’s Champions team. It will be my 10th time tackling the course, and my fourth time running as part of this team! The Parkinson’s Foundation is amazing non-profit that strives to makes life better for people with Parkinson’s disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. As many know, my Dad (Gerard, Gerry McD, Poppy) was unfortunately diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2019. Unfortunately Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that currently has no cure. As always, thank you to everyone who has joined my family in our attempt to PUNCH OUT PARKINSON’S!
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!
