| What is Moving Day, A Walk for Parkinson’s?
Moving Day is an annual community event that unites people across the country in the fight against Parkinson’s disease. It’s not just a walk—it’s a celebration of movement with activities for people of all ages and abilities. From a family-friendly walk to exercise demonstrations like yoga, dance and boxing, all proven to help manage Parkinson’s symptoms, there’s something for everyone. Join us to build meaningful connections and discover valuable resources within the Parkinson’s community. Learn more. |
