Join our Team – a WALK in the PARKinson's – at the Optimism Walk!
Our Story: In early 2023, five local couples gathered in a small Seattle conference room. One partner in each couple had a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
Every Tuesday for eight weeks, we met to learn more about the disease. And each week, we grew closer as a group. Now, long after the free class ended, we still meet monthly to support one another, those with Parkinson's in one small breakout and our partners/future caregivers in another. We also have a lot of fun.
On Sept 21, we'll be walking to support the organization that brought us together and taught us so much: the Northwest Chapter of the American Parkinson's Disease Association.
Please help us make a difference!
ADPA advances research for a cure, raises awareness, and provides services and education for people with Parkinson's. The annual Optimism Walk is a major fundraiser for our Northwest Chapter, which suppports 60,000 people with Parkinson's in three states – and more are diagnosed every day.
You can help by joining us at the Walk or simply donating to our Team.
Any amount helps. Thank you!
With optimism,
Karen Adams, team captain
