Welcome to our Parkinson's Champions Team Page!

Ryan and I could not be more excited to be running the Philadelphia Marathon on 11/24 with the Parkinson’s Foundation. As a Registered Nurse, I certainly understand the magnitude of this disease and how it can progress once diagnosed. Like many of us, Ryan and I both personally know someone affected by Parkinson’s, so joining this foundation was an easy decision. We knew we would be running for a purpose greater than completing 26.2 miles. In the United States, 50,000-60,000 new cases of Parkinson’s disease (PD) are diagnosed each year, adding to the one million people in the U.S. who currently have PD, and ten million people worldwide. The Parkinson's Foundation makes life better for people living with Parkinson's disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure.

Join our team as a Parkinson’s Champion as we challenge ourselves to run and raise funds and awareness for the Parkinson’s Foundation. 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.
