I walk for my sister, Diane.

I walk for my sister, DIane McClelland, diagnosed with Parkisnons in March 2020 at age 58.

Please support me for  my team, "SOLE SQUAD"

Our team name comes from the film, SOLE TRAIL. This 34 minute short film shares my nephew and sister's personal journey with Parkinsons and how they keep moving forward. It is inspirational and from the heart.

Please help me reach my goal by making an easy online gift today!

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!
