On Saturday, September 14th, Michigan Parkinson Foundation will host its annual Metro Detroit Hero Walk at Jimmy John’s Field. The goal of this campaign is to raise awareness about Parkinson’s and to help improve the quality of life for anyone in Michigan living with PD. The foundation also provides support and guidance to families and caregivers of those affected by Parkinson’s disease.
Brad & I have been involved in this fundraising campaign for 10 years, mainly because dollars raised have an immediate effect on local communities. We have seen the positive impact that these programs provide and are hopeful that you will continue your support of our efforts.
