I'm ready to run.Hi everyone! I am running in the Marine Corps Marathon in October with Parkinson's Foundation team. I ran in the NYC marathon in 2022 with my friend, Heidi and we were part of the Parkinson's Champions team! It was an awesome experience. I have a goal to run one more marathon and I am privileged to be able to run with this team again! A little about me. I started running half marathons in 2008 and have never stopped running since. I have run 4 marathons and many half marathons through the years. I am married and have a 7 year old son who keeps us busy with his activities. I enjoy spending my spare time with my family and friends and spending time outdoors especially at the beach whenever we can! I continue to work in Neuroscience department doing physical therapy and approximately 75% of my caseload are people who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. It has been an honor working with all of them and making a positive impact in their daily lives! So, I have kept the Scrambled Legs Team name in honor of my patients!! I'll have the company of my little brother, Addison Bender, running with me as well, so Scrambled Legs is back!! 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!
