APDA 2025 Rhode Island Optimism Walk & 5K Fun Run ○ Norman's Steady Steppers ○ No Shirt Checked

September 27, 2025 9:00am - 1:00pm

I'm lacing up and walking to raise funds and awareness for Parkinson's disease (PD). My goal this year is to raise $250 to support the good work being done by American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA).

Why do I walk? I walk

in memory of my father-in-law, Norman, and in honor of my Dad, John, and Aunt Margaret.
because every six minutes someone is diagnosed with PD.
for the ADPA's local education, information, and support.
to 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! You can 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 can walk with Optimism!
