You know our story...which is being rewritten as we speak!
Jason was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's in 2014 at the age of 37. After a long, solitary road, we found our people through APDA NW and SEAYOPD. We are on Team SEAYOPD, which is where we find our network and community. We found through SEAYOPD and our new hope and optimism, through APDA NW.
One thing that is absolutely critical for you to know before you contribute, is that APDA NW has received accolades for their transparency and stewardship in how the funds are used. This is going to people like Jason and others in our Parkinson's Community, to improve their quality of life.
Thank you for considering a contribution to something amazing!

Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page for the APDA Optimism Walk! Please help me reach my goal by making an easy online gift today!
Need some encouragement?
- Every six minutes someone is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD).
- Funds raised enable the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) to continue providing local education, information, and support, as well as critical nationwide virtual programs to keep everyone supported and connected no matter where they live. You will also help fund scientific research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and ultimately a cure.
- The more funds we raise, the more people we can help!
Today can be a great day for us both, and for the PD community! Simply make an easy online donation by clicking on the 'Support Me/Donate Now" button. Any amount is appreciated. You will automatically receive a confirmation email and I will be notified by email of your support.
Thank you so much for your generosity. Together, we are truly making a difference for those in need!
