APDA 2025 Massachusetts Optimism Walk

Hello Dear Friends,

Many of you may know that for the past few years I've been "in the fight. " I refer to my personal battle vs. Parkinson's Disease. PD is a tough competitor and It has not been easy, but life is so worth living to the fullest. And although Parkinson's tries its utmost to get in the way, like many of my fellow fighters I refuse to give in and punch back.

Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page for the APDA Optimism Walk! Please help me reach my goal by making an easy online gift today!

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!

Today can be a great day for us both, and for the PD community! 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!
