Sunflower 20th Anniversary!
Join me as I support the UC Gardner Center for Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders at the 2024 Sunflower Rev It Up for Parkinson's! We founded the Sunflower event 20 years ago when my Dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Since 2004, we have seen the event (originally a bike ride and gala) evolve into a 5k walk/run, bike ride, an after party and a free annual patient educational symposium. In 2004, the Parkinson's Center at UC Neuroscience was a burgeoning center, housed in various offices and buildings. Thanks to the generosity of the Gardner family and many others, there is now a world class Gardner Center for Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders housed in the new, cutting edge UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute building. The event has become a connection point for people who have Parkinson's where lifelong friendships have been forged, families learn how to live well with Parkinson's and a time and place to celebrate together. Family teams have become the lifeblood of our event and in that spirit the Krumme and Beyersdorfer families have joined forces with a goal of raising $20,000 inspired by the 20th anniversary. Please join us by participating or donating to our worthy cause!
