2026 Chicagoland Optimism Walk for Parkinson's

Join us for the APDA Optimism Walk!

Walkers will come together nationwide in 2026 to step forward in support of all people affected by Parkinson's disease. Your fundraising dollars at the Illinois Optimism Walk for Parkinson's will go directly to the local community, expanding programs and services to help more people with Parkinson's disease live life to the fullest, and funding cutting-edge research to find better treatments and ultimately a cure.
