I am a veteran and was diagnosed with Parkinsons in 2017.  This disease progressively damages brain cellscausing movement/nonmovement effects that worsen over time.  I have joined the Parkinsons Foundation Veterans Support Group. They raise funds through this walk to help find the cure for this disease.

I hope you can assist in this endeavor.  Also forward the email to others you think might help or share on Facebook.

The revenues from our fundraising events are essential to help ensure that no person with Parkinson’s in Michigan and their families are without quality care and support. The need for MPF’s respite care program has increased twenty-fold, providing $10,000 to families in 2018 to more than $283,000 and 13,885 hours to 176 families in 2024.  Over 13,500 individuals served through MPF exercise classes and 2,116 served through educational programs statewide. To date, we have been able to say “YES” to all that need our help with support from individuals like you.
