My Personal Fundraising Page

I need YOUR help...

Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page!  I was diagnosed in 2020 at age 49 with early-onset Parkinson's Disease which is a disorder of the central nervous sytem that affects movement.  Having Parkinson's has made me more grateful for what I have.  The only thing that can help slow the progression of Parkinson's is exercise so I try to stay as active as possible. With your help, I know we can find a cure in my lifetime!  Please help me reach my goal by making an easy online gift!

Need some encouragement? 

  • Every six minutes someone is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD).
  • Funds raised enable the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) to continue providing local education, information, and support, as well as critical nationwide virtual programs to keep everyone supported and connected no matter where they live. You will also help fund scientific research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and ultimately a cure.
  • The more funds we raise, the more people we can help!

Today can be a great day for us both, and for the PD community! Simply make an easy online donation by clicking on the 'Support Me/Donate Now" button. Any amount is appreciated. You will automatically receive a confirmation email and I will be notified by email of your support.

Thank you so much for your generosity. Together, we are truly making a difference for those in need!
