Supporting the cause

Last Saturday my husband and I walked just over three miles. We were joined by close to a thousand others, all walking the Steady Strides 5K to raise funds for the Parkinson's Wellness Chapter. This money is spent primarily on the executive director's compensation, educational programs, and exercise classes. (Yea! Exercise!) This year the goal was $100,000, and the current total is just over $2K short. It is not too late to make a contribution at steadystrides.parkinsonswellness.org . These programs and classes are aimed at easing the burden of PD and can be veery important to those of us living with PD. Join us in funding these great opportunities!

  1. I think E meant to write $92K rather than $2K for the returns on the 2014 Steady Strides Run/Walk. Hey, this gives those who meant to contribute but forgot an opportunity to push the total over the $100K goal!
