APDA 2025 Massachusetts Optimism Walk

Rock Steady Boxing Newbury Court

May 18, 2025 11:00am - 2:00pm

I AM ROCK STEADY!

 EXTRA CHEESY CHANTS*

We never quit, that’s what we say

Together we work wonders every day.

We help each other to be brave and strong.

We’re ready to face what comes along.

  

We’re here today to raise some funds

for anyone affected by Parkinson’s.

We’ll meet this challenge and gain some ground

on Parkinson’s disease.

We’re victory bound.

 

Repeat after me, and say it loud:

We are Rock Steady and we are proud.

We keep coming back, we stick together.

We help each other.

What could be better?

          “Cheesy Chants” are short upbeat poems. They are a way for us to be seen, laugh together (poetry in a boxing class??), have another routine which adds to the safety and integrity of the group.

 

 

 

We need your help... 

There is strength in numbers and our team hopes you will join us in the fight against Parkinson's disease (PD) by donating today.  We have set a lofty goal and we hope to beat it because we know that every dollar raised makes a difference.  The more funds we can raise for the APDA Optimism Walk, the more people we can help in the local PD community, and that's more important now than ever.

Need some encouragement? 

  • Every six minutes someone is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
  • Funds raised enable the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) to continue providing local education, information, and support to those touched by PD in our community and fund scientific research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and ultimately the cure.
  • The more funds we raise, the more people we can help!

You can make an easy online donation by clicking on the Roster tab, selecting a team member, and then just click on the 'Support Me' button on their fundraising page. You will automatically receive a confirmation email and we will be notified by email of your support. 

Thank you in advance for your generosity. Together we are truly making a difference for those in need!
