My Personal Fundraising Page

I'd LOVE YOUR help!
Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page for the APDA Optimism Walk.

Perhaps NO ONE has done more for the Boston arts and entertainment community than my Dear friend Jordan Rich! (You've probably heard me on his WBZ radio segment "NE Weekend" or his Podcast "On Mic: So when Jordan received his Parkinson's diagnosis it became personal for me and he has fought so courageoulsy! 

I retired from "Cause Walks" in 2008 following my 600 mile "Million Step March" across North Carolina which you can see here BUT for Jordan I'm putting on my walking sneakers again! 

I’m walking to make a difference for the Parkinson’s disease (PD) community, and I’d love your support. Every six minutes, someone is diagnosed with PD. The funds we raise will help the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) provide:

  • Local education, information, and support for people impacted by PD

  • Nationwide virtual programs to keep everyone connected, no matter where they live

  • Scientific research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and ultimately a cure

The more we raise, the more lives we can touch. Your donation truly matters.

It’s quick and easy to give - click the "Support Me" or "Donate Now" button. You’ll receive an automatic confirmation email, and I’ll be notified right away so I can thank you personally.

Any amount you give will bring us one step closer to better treatments, more support, and hope for the future.

Thank you for your generosity. Together, we’re making a real difference.
