Mark Kelm Twin Cities Moving Day for Parkinson's
Living with young-onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD) while raising three kids with my wife has offered a few unique challenges and a superabundance of blessings. Like so many others experience, my Parkinson's rigidity, tremors, and balance issues make daily life tasks more taxing for me. It can be easy to allow these symptoms to make me sit on the sidelines of life. I'm sure many others have felt the same way.
I have come to understand, however, that we were not made to sit on the bench. We were created to actively engage in this life, making an impact in our own small but significant way.
I'm moving to beat Parkinson's disease!
I've joined Moving Day, A Walk for Parkinson's, to honor people living with Parkinson's, those who love them and those that are working to end this disease.
Every dollar I raise goes a long way in helping the Parkinson's Foundation fulfill its mission of improving the lives of the one million Americans with Parkinson's. Please support me in this fight by making a donation. Your generosity will help raise awareness, more funding and more understanding of a disease that affects so many of our family and friends.
In The Lorax, Dr. Seuss wrote, "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." Your hearts, hands and voices are urgently needed. So, how will you choose to support the mission of the Parkinson’s Foundation to improve care and advance research toward a cure? Consider making a donation today or come on out and join me at the walk!
Together, let's make a life-changing difference!
Thank you!
Carpe Diem,
Mark Kelm
