APDA 2025 Massachusetts Optimism Walk

Dear Friends,

This is the first time I've initiated an online fundraising thing, but found it easy. Bob was diagnosed about 15 months ago and he is doing pretty well -- he eats my desserts and I do his exercise. It's a partnership! We've benefited so much this past year from the PD programming from the APDA, the Framingham COA, Metrowest YMCA and, especially, by new friendships.

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.

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.

Thanks, with love, in advance,

Molly
