My Personal Fundraising Page

Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page for the APDA Optimism Walk for Parkinson's research!

I am walking in memory of my Grampy, Chuck Mountain. He passed away from Parkinson's disease two years ago. My grandfather meant the world to me. He was always there for me. We shared a love for summers at the lake, spending time with family, and I aspire to be as kind and caring as he was. I am dedicating this walk to my Grampy in hopes that we can fund research to help other families. 

Need some encouragement? 

  • Every six minutes someone is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD).
  • Funds raised enable the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) to continue providing local education, information, and support, as well as critical nationwide virtual programs to keep everyone supported and connected no matter where they live. You will also help fund scientific research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and ultimately a cure.
  • The more funds we raise, the more people we can help!

Simply make an easy online donation by clicking on the 'Support Me/Donate Now" button. Any amount is appreciated. You will automatically receive a confirmation email and I will be notified by email of your support.

Thank you so much for your generosity. Together, we are truly making a difference for those in need!
