APDA 2026 Rhode Island Optimism Walk & 5k Fun Run for Parkinson's

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

I am doing the Parkinson's fundraiser walk this year in memory of Gary. Over the years, the RI APDA grant has funded Gary's participation in a Parkinson's cycling class. Also, due to generous donors we have been able to receive a stipend that helps pay for our lawn care. My family and I appreciate any size donation. Your love and support means so much to us.

We all can make a difference for the Parkinson’s disease (PD) community, 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" 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.

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