2026 Rhode Island Optimism Walk & 5K Run Run for Parkinson's
Join us for the APDA Optimism Walk & 5K Fun Run!
Walkers will come together nationwide in 2026 to step forward in support of all people affected by Parkinson's disease. Your fundraising dollars at the Rhode Island Optimism Walk & 5k Fun Run for Parkinson's will go directly to the local community, expanding programs and services to help more people with Parkinson's disease live life to the fullest, and funding cutting-edge research to find better treatments and ultimately a cure.
