I ASKED. You RESPONDED. I am HUMBLED.

The 2024 Parkinson’s Foundation Moving Day Tampa Bay is in the books. After many appeals, crazy pictures and shameless efforts for your egg money, it is time to say thank you for your generosity and support of my 2024 fundraising efforts to end Parkinson’s Disease. A special shout out to a group of family and friends who came out to walk with us. Paul and I are blessed and humbled by your support and friendship. It was a picture perfect day. 

With your help, Paul’s Peloton raised $13,920 for the Parkinson’s Foundation. We are sending each of you a hug. For those of you who know I have a competitive streak and want the full details, here you go. I fell a little short of beating my previous year’s total and finished as the #2 fundraising individual and team in Tampa Bay for 2024. Paul’s Peloton played a major role in helping the Tampa Bay event exceeding their fundraising goal. I am proud of what we were able to accomplish as a TEAM.

Paul’s Peloton is a network of family, friends and neighbors that provide encouragement in many ways as we do everything possible to battle this disease. YOU ARE PAUL’S PELOTON. We are so grateful for each and every one of you. Because of your generosity, you are helping the Parkinson’s Foundation make life better for people with Parkinson’s disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure.

The past 12 months have been challenging as Parkinson’s has picked up its assault on Paul but we still maintain HOPE. Our plan - live the best life we can and not give up. We will never stop hoping because miracles happen every day. In the blink of an eye, your life can change. Your goals, dreams and priorities may be forced to take different turns.

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for your love, friendship, encouragement, support and generosity. Always remember, your health is your wealth. Paul and I will keep on MOVING and we hope you do as well.

All the best,
Paul and Cheryl Downing
