APDA 2024 Rhode Island Optimism Walk & 5k Fun Run

Sandie Rose Walks for Parkinson's

I need YOUR help... please consider donating to my fundraiser or join me on Saturday, September 28th at Warwick City Park for our annual Optism Walk.

Your contribution will support activities like the following:

Providing local education, information, and support like the exercise and local support groups I participate in.
Providing critical nationwide virtual programs to keep everyone supported and connected no matter where they live because sometimes individuals with Parkinson's can't make it out the door to access programs and information.
Funding scientific research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and ultimately a cure - Wouldn't that be great?!?
The more funds we raise, the more people we can help!

Saturday, September 28th can be a great day for us , and for the PD community! Simply plan to join us for the walk followed by lunch or make an easy online donation by clicking on the 'Support Me/Donate Now" button. Any amount is appreciated - no amount is too small. You will automatically receive a confirmation email and I will be notified by email of your support.

It has been over 9 years since I was first diagnosied with Parkinson's and each year and week has gotten harder. This past year, my symptoms and side effects have changed. Some days, I can get up and be ready to go out the door. Other weeks, my legs freeze, I can't move and simple tasks can be confusing, It's pretty frustrating. However, this year, I found new independence with a my scooter that I can ride down to Chrissy's house to share coffee or wine whenever I want. I've also been able to travel to new places with Stephen or Tommy so long as I move slow and they don't mind stopping to smell the roses.

Thank you so much for your generosity. Together, we are truly making a difference for those in need! - Sandie
