Lisa's Personal Fundraising Page

I need YOUR help...

Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page for the APDA Optimism Walk!  Nine years ago when I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease I had no idea what Parkinson's was and I did not know anybody with the disease. I learned that exercise is very important and I started boxing at Rock Steady in Newton. Then, with the help of my dear friend and PT Kathy, we started Rock Steady Boxing Plymouth County.  Now I know allot of people with PD and they are all awesome!  Parkinson's is sometimes difficult to live with but it also has enriched my life. I will continue to Fight Back against PD and continue to help others do the same.
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!
