I am participating in Moving Day® Rhode Island, benefiting the Parkinson's Foundation.

My father, a retired Coast Guard Captain with 30 years in the service, was diagnosed in 2015. My 4 boys and I will be walking for our 2nd year in a row (though this year it will be a 5k around our neighborhood) in his honor, and in honor of my best friend's father, who also has Parkinson's. Over the years, I have watched the progression in both of them, but have also been in awe of how hard they work to overcome their challenges and their attitude toward it all, and how they still manage to keep their great senses of humor.

I hope you will consider helping me reach my fundraising goal to support the vital work of the Parkinson's Foundation.

Why Move for Moving Day?

Did you know that someone is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease every 9 minutes in the United States? No one should have to face Parkinson’s alone. That is why the Parkinson's Foundation provides a community of support to give people the resources and help they need to live well with Parkinson’s.


Support our mission to help every person diagnosed with Parkinson's live their best possible life now. Your gift will help us fund better research, better treatment and better lives.
