I'm ready to run.
Hi everyone! This year, I will be running the Marine Corps Marathon as a member of the Parkinson's Champions running team. I'm challenging myself to run the marathon to support the Parkinson’s Foundation on their mission to raise funds and awareness about PD. As some of you may know, my grandmother, or as we call her, Meema, was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2017. Anyone that has met my Meema knows that she is a wonderfully talented, generous, and lively person. She has been my biggest supporter for as long as I can remember and I can't wait to dedicate my marathon journey to her!
The Parkinson's Foundation makes life better for people living with Parkinson's disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. Studies show that 2.5 hours of weekly exercise along with medication, can significantly improve quality of life for people living with Parkinson's. We run and will continue to run for people with Parkinson's because this disease not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Every dollar counts, thank you for your support!
