Dear Friends and Family,

Welcome to my Moving Day Personal Page!

In the United States, 50,000-60,000 new cases of Parkinson’s disease (PD) are diagnosed each year, adding to the one million people who currently have PD. Join our team for the local Parkinson’s Foundation Moving Day walk, the first nationwide grassroots campaign that spotlights the disease on a national level and gives the chance to raise awareness and funds in our own community. Your support will help us continue improving the quality of care for those living with Parkinson’s disease.

Why am I participating in Moving Day?

Randy joined the list of people newly diagnosed with PD in May 2022 after experiencing significant changes to his health and mobility over the past year. In retrospect, we recognize that he had been experiencing symptoms years before the diagnosis was made. While we are learning about living with PD every day and are grateful for the advances made in many fields to make the disease manageable, we remain keenly interested in research leading to earlier diagnosis and treatment of PD and an eventual cure. For these reasons, we formed Team Hank and Hazel to raise funds for the Parkinson's Foundation.

Why Team Hank and Hazel?

Hank and Hazel are pet names, but it's not what you're thinking. Hank and Hazel are the names we plan on giving the dogs we hope to adopt in the near future. They figure prominently in our commitment to a healthy lifestyle in spite of PD; walking Hank and Hazel will make every day a moving day. So when you support Team Hank and Hazel, you are supporting our vision of hope and plan of action.

Thank you for supporting us and the vital work of the Parkinson’s Foundation.

Love,

Michelle and Randy

P.S. We will update our team photo once we have Hank and Hazel. With any luck, they will join us on October 22nd.
