Supporters from over 20 states across the country (even some four-legged friends!) joined together on Saturday, May 14th to help the Parkinson’s Foundation amplify Parkinson’s awareness, raise funds, and remind and educate people that one million Americans live with Parkinson’s disease in the United States. Thank you for the part you played in making this happen. Together, we made lives better for people living with Parkinson’s!

Moving Day @ Home Stories

There are so many reasons to move in the fight against Parkinson’s. And for every reason, there’s a story of someone who has been touched by this disease. For Moving Day at Home, we had the honor of hearing stories from four supporters across the country who have different connections to Parkinson’s disease. Thank you to these individuals for sharing their stories!

Karen Andrews, Atlanta, Georgia, Person who knows someone with PD

Linda Bennett, Caregiver of Husband with PD, Columbia, MO

Alicia Peters, Person with Young Onset PD, St. Joseph, Minnesota

Cheri Prince, Healthcare worker and Aware in Care Ambassador, Omaha, NE

Top Teams

Thank you to our Top Teams who raised over $7,000 collectively!

Team SOAR, with SOAR Physical Therapy in New Jersey, participated for their 3rd year in a row raising over $4,000! Each year their Exercise Group has gathered for a BIG For Life class followed by a social lunch afterwards. This year they dedicated Moving Day to the friends they have lost – Barbara Beckedorff, John Drew, Ed Colrick, Charlyne Snyder and to all of their patients living with PD.

We Are Stronger Together, a team from New Jersey, organized a walk with over 15 friends and family in honor of a loved one with PD. They raised over $2,000!

AlfaTech, a company team from San Jose, California, walked in honor of loved ones with PD and raised over $1,300!
