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. The Newport County Parkinson's Community has directly benefitted from frunds from the RI CHapter ot the APDA to start new exercise programs and our support group.
This year our team will walk in memory of two members of our community, Maureen Murphy and David Dwyer. Maureen inspired us at our support group meetings with her optimism and hope. David kept our PD Cycling class pedaling hard while entertaingin us with his stories and wit.
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!
