As a Parkinson's Disease Neurologist, I encourage my patients to exercise throughout their week. Now, I'm taking my active lifestyle from private to public as I run for the Parkinson's Champions team in the 2024 NYC Marathon!
It has been a dream of mine to run in the NYC Marathon, and I'm thankful that you and the Parkinson's Foundation are giving me that opportunity.
I'm running to raise funds and awareness with the Parkinson's Champions. Please consider donating, and submitting your donation to your employer to match! (Bank of America, BCBS of NC, Deloitte, Truist and others!)

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 vigorous 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!
