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

In honor of my brother-in-law, John, who I did start to teach pickleball.  I know he is smiling down on this with his paddle in hand!!

I and fellow pickleballers are walking to make a difference for the Parkinson’s disease (PD) community, and we’d love your support.  We have about 30 people living with Parkinson's who have now reaped the benefits of learning how to play Pickleball and lovng every minute of it!!! 

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" or "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.
