I need YOUR help!
Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page for the APDA Optimism Walk.
I was diagnosed with PD on10/10 of 2020. If that's not proof of numerology's relevance in all matters no matter how random it may appear to practically everyone, well then maybe I'll have to face the fact that everybody is wrong.
Seriously, I'm just not going to give up on the chance I have to fight this, and to trailblaze this dark stroll into the forest so that others will have a better go of it ... F*** Parkinsons Disease all the way down the road. So let's move on to the following pitch for your help.
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.

Looking forward to a not-too-distant point in the future where therapies are available to stop PD in its tracks. In the meantime: onward. 3 weeks ago $104.00
