I'm moving to beat Parkinson's disease!
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's July 2020. While it was completely unexpected, I did have personal experience dealing with a degenerative brain disease with my Mom. My Mom had Lewy Body Dementia a form of Parkinson's which she lived with until 2012. As a family we struggled to understand the disease and help her get the best care possible. When I was diagnosed I quickly learned the importance of educating myself about my disease and made it my mission to help others find the resources they need to thrive with Parkinson's.
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.
Funding for education and research are vital and that's why I've joined Team Waves of Hope to help fundraise for this important mission.
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.
Together, let's make a life-changing difference!
Thank you!
