Parkinson's disease has had a profound impact on my family. In 2022, my uncle passed away from Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a rare neurodegenerative disorder within the Parkinson’s disease spectrum. Just one year later, my mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Watching both of them face these challenges has given me a deeply personal understanding of the impact these conditions have on individuals and their loved ones.
Running the Falmouth Road Race is an opportunity for me to honor my uncle's memory, support my mother, and contribute to the Parkinson's Foundation's mission to improve the lives of people living with Parkinson's. I am proud to have the opportunity to be part of a team that is raising awareness, funding research, and providing resources for families affected by this disease.
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!
