It's hard to believe that, in all the years our family has been affected by Parkinson's Disease, we've never done something like this. My Dad lived courageously with Parkinson's, facing it down for more than 10 years before his death in 2019. I'm excited to walk and raise money for the Michigan Parkinson Foundation in his honor!
According to MPF: "The revenues from our fundraising events are essentialto help ensure that no person with Parkinson’s in Michigan and their families are without quality care and support.The need for MPF’s respite care program has increased twenty-fold, providing $10,000 to families in 2018 to more than $283,000 and 13,885 hours to 176 families in 2024. Over 13,500 individuals served through MPF exercise classes and 2,116 served through educational programs statewide. To date, we have been able to say “YES” to all that need our help with support from individuals like you."
