Join Us for the Walk in the Park: Supporting Parkinson’s Awareness on September 15th!

Are you ready to take a step toward making a difference? Join us for the Walk in the Park event, a special occasion dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Parkinson’s disease research. On September 15th, we’ll be gathering at Elmwood Park for a morning of community spirit, exercise, and hope, starting at 9:00 am.

Why Your Participation Matters

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite its prevalence, there is still much to be done in terms of research, treatment, and support for those affected by the condition. The Walk in the Park is not just a fundraiser—it's a chance to bring the community together to show solidarity and support for those living with Parkinson’s disease and their families.
