The Parkinson Hero Walks are a team/pledge walking event that allows Michigan Parkinson Foundation (MPF) to continue critical programs and services free of charge. For individuals with Parkinson's, to care partners, healthcare professionals, family, friends, and loved ones: they are all our heroes; their courage in facing this disease every day is truly exemplary.
The walks features a one or three mile walk route, Parkinson exercise demonstrations, and entertainment for the whole family. Together, we can make a real difference for the 35,000 individuals (heroes!) living with Parkinson’s in Michigan and
their families.
