My Personal Fundraising Page
You probably know I’m the Executive Director of the Northwest Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association — but you might not know I’ve been with APDA for over a decade. Why so long? Because I’ve met some of the most inspiring, resilient people you could ever hope to call friends. They’re the reason I fight every day for the Parkinson’s community — and why I’m asking you to join me.
Whether you walk by my side or make a gift to support this cause, you’ll be helping people with Parkinson’s live life to the fullest — and bringing us one step closer to ending this disease.
Need some encouragement?
- Every six minutes someone is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- Funds raised enable 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.
- Your donations stay local! And the more funds we raise, the more people we can help.
You can make an online donation by clicking on the 'Support Me/Donate Now" button. Any amount is appreciated. Better yet, join my team and reach out to your own network - and that way we can reach even more people!
Thank you so much for your generosity. Together, we are truly making a difference!
