Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page for the American Parkinson Disease Association Optimism Walk.
I’m walking to make a difference for the Parkinson’s disease (PD) community, and I’d love your support. This cause has become very personal to me through both my professional work and the relationships I have built within the Parkinson’s community.
As a personal trainer and educator at Life Time Des Moines, I work closely with individuals living with Parkinson’s and help lead a Parkinson’s support group. Through this, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful exercise, community, and the right resources can be in improving quality of life. I am also continuing to work toward expanding access to these resources so more individuals know where to start and feel supported along the way.
Every six minutes, someone is diagnosed with PD. The funds we raise will help the APDA provide:
Local education, information, and support for people impacted by PD
Nationwide virtual programs to keep everyone connected, no matter where they live
Scientific research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and ultimately a cure
The more we raise, the more lives we can touch. Your donation truly matters.
It’s quick and easy to give. Just click the "Support Me" or "Donate Now" button. You’ll receive an automatic confirmation email, and I’ll be notified right away so I can thank you personally.
Any amount you give will bring us one step closer to better treatments, more support, and hope for the future.
Thank you for your generosity. Together, we’re making a real difference.
