Welcome to the Eastside Movers and Shakers Team!

We're excited to launch the first-ever Eastside Satellite Walk in support of the 2026 APDA Northwest Seattle Optimism Walk!

2026 Eastside Satellite Walk Event
Friday, September 18

Location: Confluence Park
655 Rainier Blvd N, Issaquah, WA 98027
Check-In: 3:30 pm
Start Time: 4:00 pm

If you're looking to connect with others in the Eastside Parkinson's community, you've come to the right place. We invite you to join the Eastside Movers and Shakers team as we raise awareness, build community, and fundraise to support APDA NW.

Please note that when you register through this team page, you'll receive updates from APDA Northwest with information about the Seattle Optimism Walk, taking place on Saturday, September 19 along the Ship Canal Trail in Seattle.

However, as part of our team experience, we invite you to join us for the Eastside Satellite Walk on Friday, September 18, from 4:00 p.m. until dusk at Confluence Park. You’ll receive communication from Jennifer Gryniewicz with additional details about the walk, our post-walk potluck, and other event announcements.

If you have questions about the Eastside Satellite Walk, please contact Jennifer Gryniewicz. For assistance with event registration or to learn more about how APDA supports the Parkinson's community, please reach out to Jeremy Orbe at APDA NW.

There is strength in numbers, and our team hopes you will join us in the fight against Parkinson's disease (PD) by donating today.  We have set a lofty goal, and we hope to beat it because we know that every dollar raised makes a difference.  The more funds we can raise for the APDA Optimism Walk, the more people we can help in the local PD community, and that's more important now than ever.

Need some encouragement? 

  • Every six minutes, someone is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
  • Funds raised enable the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) to continue providing local education, information, and support to those touched by PD in our community and fund scientific research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and ultimately the cure.
  • The more funds we raise, the more people we can help!

You can make an online donation by selecting the Roster tab, choosing a team member, and clicking the Support Me button on their fundraising page. You'll receive an automatic confirmation email, and your support will be shared with our team.

Thank you for your generosity and for joining us in making a meaningful difference for individuals and families impacted by Parkinson's disease.
