Hi friends,

I am starting my Parkinson's Disease fundraiser site early this year so we can raise more for research, treatments and programs for people like me who have the disease. Exercise is important to keep our bodies and minds in the best shape possible, and these programs help bring people together. It helps to know we are not alone.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2015 and would really appreciate any amount you can give to help us beat this fight. Speaking of fight, I am learning how to box at the YMCA! Tennis and soccer are no longer part of my life, but I still watch them on TV!

I am participating in Moving Day Winston-Salem, benefiting the Parkinson's Foundation.The event will be a fun-filled, family-friendly event for all ages and abilities. We will be able to enjoy a variety of movement activities like yoga, dance, Pilates, Tai Chi, boxing, stretching and more to celebrate the importance of movement in our lives.

Please consider being a part of my team or sponsoring me, and I encourage you to get your friends, family and coworkers involved.

Thank you for helping me reach my fundraising goal to support the vital work of the Parkinson's Foundation.
