Dave's journey with Parkinson's began 3 years ago. The tremors are what most people see... but there is so much more to the disease.  Each person is impacted differently, but as of today there is no cure.

Some interesting info...

• What is Parkinsons’s disease?
  • Slowly progressing neurogenerative disease outpacing Alzheimer’s disease
  • Affects ability to move associated with tremors, slowness and stiffness of the limbs
• Over 90,000+ new cases diagnosed in the United States each year
• 35,000 people living with Parkinson’s in Michigan
• 1 in 15 people will be diagnosed in a lifetime
• 1 person is diagnosed every 6 minutes
• Men are 1.5x more likely than women to be diagnosed

Only 12-15% of cases are genetic; environment is a big factor along with a person’s own unique biology, genes, and exposure to environmental factors

Organizations like the Michigan Parkinsons Foundation (MPF) are raising funds to make a difference! The revenues from these fundraising events are essential to help ensure that no person with Parkinson’s in Michigan and their families are without quality care and support. To date, MPF has been able to say “YES” to all that need our help with support from individuals like you!!!
