Run4PD in honor of Suzanne! In 2021, Emmaline's mom was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Instead of getting discouraged, she dove head first into the Parkinson's community, engaging herself with local support groups, signing up for “Pickleball for Parkinson's” and yoga classes, and participating in research through the Parkinson's Foundation. We have seen her embrace a diagnosis that could be an excuse or a limitation. We have seen her become engaged in new ways of moving and exercise that she had never previously considered.

It is because of this, that we have chosen to run to raise funds and awareness with the Parkinson's Champions. 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!
