"I’m Paige, and I'm running in loving memory of my incredible Grammy. She bravely battled Parkinson’s for years before peacefully passing away in January [2024]." This weekend, the Parkinson's Champions will be taking on 26.1 miles in the TCS New York City Marathon to beat Parkinson's disease. Included in their ranks is Paige; she shared, "Running has been my way of coping with her loss, and participating in the NYC Marathon with the Parkinson’s Champions feels like the perfect tribute to her legacy and a meaningful way to support this cause. Though I miss her dearly every day, I find comfort knowing she's watching over me on this journey, proud as ever!" We are cheering Paige and all the champs taking on the challenge this weekend!

"As things become more difficult, I don’t view PD as limiting what I can do, but rather as challenging me to figure out different ways of achieving what I want," says Dirk, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2015. 📖 Read more of his PD Story: https://lnkd.in/gzzE4rr4

#MovingDayDFW this weekend was wonderful! As usual, Alyssa T. and Leslie hit it out of the park to put on a great event supporting the Parkinson's Foundation! 🩵 For those that attended, my video barely captures the energy from the day. 🎥
Thank you North Texas for supporting Moving Day DFW! 🩵👟 It was a picture-perfect day at Red Tail Pavilion, where over 300 attendees connected with others from the community, met our partners, and walked along Oak Point Nature Preserve. Our rockstar event committee, volunteers, and staff made Moving Day DFW a wonderful celebration for all. If you weren't able to join us for #MovingDayDFW, it's not too late to show your support! Visit MovingDayDFW.org to make a gift today. 📽️: Nicole Lopez
