Hi, I’m Alessandra from Westchester, NY. My team and I are honored to be part of this incredible community and this important cause.
Parkinson’s disease has touched our lives in a deeply personal way. About eight months ago, someone who means the world to us received this diagnosis. Through Team Gabagool, we are walking in their honor, and in support of the millions of others impacted by this disease every day.
Our team was created with love, resilience, and hope at its heart. Together, we walk to raise awareness, fund groundbreaking research, and help ensure that more families facing this disease have access to the support they need.
We are greatly looking forward to this year’s Optimism Walk and are incredibly grateful for any and all support. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference in the fight against Parkinson’s.
Please consider donating, sharing our team page, or joining us in spirit. Your kindness means more than we can say.
We are walking with this quote in our hearts, as a reminder of the strength we all carry within us:
“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’”
— Eleanor Roosevelt
Together, we walk with hope, for those we love and for a future without Parkinson’s.
With our deepest love and appreciation,
#TeamGabagool
