My Fundraising Page

Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page for the APDA Optimism Walk.

My father John Perosino was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease about 5 years ago. A son believes his father is invincible; someone that can handle any situation and overcome any odds. A father is a boy's first role model and hero. Since the diagnosis, it has been incredibly difficult for my family and I to watch this perception of invincibility fade. While incredibly disheartening, there is work to be done to make a difference. My goal is to simply do what I can to help; help my father by representing the organizations dedicated to supporting Parkinson's patients and the research dedicated to beating the disease. I will be walking in support of my father and all of the other men & women diagnosed with Parkinson's. It is my duty to make a difference, and I’d greatly love and appreciate your support.

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

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.
