APDA 2025 Missouri Optimism Walk

My Personal Fundraising Page

Dear friends and family,

I'm writing to share some personal news and a cause that's incredibly close to my heart. In August 2021, I received a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. While the journey has presented significant challenges, it's also ignited within me a profound desire to contribute to finding a cure and improving the lives of others facing this condition.

Over the past two years, I've discovered a remarkable source of strength and community through the Americans Parkinson Disease Association (APDA). Their exercise programs are not merely physical; they're a lifeline, fostering connection and shared experience among those affected by Parkinson's. But the APDA's impact extends far beyond exercise classes. Their unwavering commitment to research and providing vital support to individuals and families navigating this disease is truly inspirational.

That's why I'm participating in the APDA Optimism Walk. I'm embarking on this walk not just for myself, but as a testament to the strength and resilience of the Parkinson's community, and as a passionate advocate for continued research and support. Your contribution, no matter the size, will directly fund critical research efforts and enhance the support services the APDA provides. Every dollar donated fuels hope and brings us closer to a future where Parkinson's is no longer a life-altering sentence.

I'm deeply grateful for your friendship and unwavering support. By joining me in this endeavor, you become an active participant in the fight against Parkinson's, offering a beacon of hope to countless individuals and families affected by this disease. Your generosity will make a tangible difference in the lives of others. Thank you for considering a donation. Together, we can make a powerful impact.

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.
