This October, I’ll be running (-ish…possibly more of a fast walk...) the Medtronic TC 10K as a member of the Twin Cities Parkinson’s Champions team in support of the Parkinson’s Foundation. 

I'm participating for one reason: to end Parkinson’s.

I've set a starting personal goal of raising $1000 - along with awareness - to benefit the Parkinson’s Foundation. Every dollar raised goes toward the Parkinson’s Foundation mission to make life better for people with PD by improving care and advancing research toward a cure.

If you’re interested in donating, I would appreciate any support - big changes are caused by small actions that add up, so every bit counts, even one dollar donations matter!
