Thank you for inviting to such an important event and although is was down right chilly the turn out was terrific and while we served breakfast and coffee to staff and participants.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) launched the Run/Walk Series in 2017 to connect those affected by Parkinson’s, their families and community supporters. Since then, the Series has expanded nationwide, raising over $8.6 million and uniting more than 28,500 participants.
These family-friendly events offer a day of activity, community and valuable information about Parkinson's disease and local support resources. Whether you're living with Parkinson’s, supporting a loved one or simply seeking to learn more, our Run/Walk Series provides an opportunity to engage, raise awareness and make a difference.
All proceeds directly fund MJFF’s research to accelerate treatments and find a cure. Your involvement is crucial to advancing our mission, and we thank you for your support!
