2026 Minnesota Optimism Walk for Parkinson's
Join us for the APDA Optimism Walk!
Walkers will come together nationwide in 2026 to step forward in support of all people affected by Parkinson's disease. Your fundraising dollars at the Minnesota Optimism Walk for Parkinson's will go directly to the local community to expand programs and services that help more people with Parkinson's disease live life to the fullest, and to fund cutting-edge research to find better treatments and ultimately a cure.
