This is my third year organizing and fourth year attending the Optimism Walk. Every year, I’m reminded why this event matters so much. It's more than just a walk. It's a movement of hope, community, and determination to support and fight for those impacted by Parkinson’s disease.
As the Fundraising Event Manager for APDA, I see firsthand how this walk brings people together: those living with Parkinson’s, their families, caregivers, and supporters.
I walk for the incredible people I’ve met through APDA, and to support:
- The brave individuals facing Parkinson’s every day with strength and courage.
- The caregivers and loved ones who support them unconditionally.
- The researchers and healthcare professionals working tirelessly to improve lives.
- The APDA mission—to provide education, support, and hope while funding research toward better treatments and a cure.
Your donation, big or small makes a real impact.
If you can't give right now, I’d still love your support in other ways:
- Join my team and walk with us
- Share this page with your network
Thanks for helping me turn OPTIMISM into action.
Together, We Can Make a Difference
