APDA Parkinson's 2025 Seattle Optimism Walk

My Personal Fundraising Page

Dear Family and Friends,

It has been almost 10 years since i received my diagnosis of Young Onset Parkinson's Disease. It has been a journey and continues to challenge life as I knew it. Parkinson's is progressive and I have noticed some ways that my symptoms are different and more life disrupting. I have had a stressful year and some medication changes, but am finally feeling like things are smoothing out. However, for the most part, I am doing very well.

I am strong, I have supportive friends and family, I have so many blessings in my life. My intent is to continue to fight this with everything I have and to continue to help work towards a cure for Parkinson's. Here's where you can help:

If you are able I would appreciate a donation of any size to help me reach my goal.

Here a few things to consider~

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!

You can 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 can truly making a difference for those in need!

With love and gratitude,

Laura
