Karina's Fundraising Page

Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page for the APDA Optimism Walk!  I am raising money in memory of grandfather (Grampy), Chuck Mountain who passed away 2 years ago.  He loved all and fought against Parkinson's Disease for several years. He was generous with his time, and always made time for family.  Some of my best memories are playing countless games of rummy and old maid, and funny moments like copying me when I did tap dancing moves around the house. I'll forever treasure summers in Maine, and the positive light he brought to our family. Please help me reach my goal by making a donation in his honor!

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!
