I need YOUR help!
Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page for the APDA Optimism Walk.

In 2019, my wife was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease (PD). Our lives were forever changed.

On June 20th, I’m walking to make a difference for the Parkinson’s Disease (PD) community, and I’d love your support. Every six minutes, someone is diagnosed with PD. The funds we raise will help the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) provide:

  • Local education, information, and support for people impacted by PD

  • Nationwide virtual programs to keep everyone connected, no matter where they live

  • Scientific research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and ultimately a cure

The more we raise, the more lives we can touch. Your donation truly matters.

It’s quick and easy to give - click the "Support Me/Donate Now" button. You’ll receive an automatic confirmation email, and I’ll be notified right away so I can thank you personally.

Any amount you give will bring us one step closer to better treatments, more support, and hope for the future.

Thank you for your generosity. Together, we’re making a real difference.
