Join us for the APDA Optimism Walk!
Across the nation, walkers will unite in 2025 to take meaningful steps in support of everyone affected by Parkinson’s disease. At the South Sound Walk, every dollar raised will stay local—directly funding programs and services that help individuals with Parkinson’s live their fullest lives. Your support will also help fund cutting-edge research to develop better treatments and, ultimately, find a cure.
