Moving Day: A Walk for Parkinson’s

June 3 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm MDT

Free

Moving Day is an inspiring and empowering annual fundraising event that has united more than 150,000 participants around the country living with PD, their care partners and loved ones.

Moving Day is more than just a walk. It is a celebration of movement – proven to help manage Parkinson’s symptoms. Moving Day is among the largest Parkinson’s events in the country and provides excellent brand exposure to thousands of people in the Parkinson’s community.

FUNDS RAISED THROUGH MOVING DAY:
• Help deliver quality care to more than 196,700 people living with Parkinson’s.
• Fund cutting-edge research to improve treatments and advance toward a cure.
• Provide free resources for people living with Parkinson’s and their families.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second-most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s and is the 14th-leading cause of death in the U.S. It is associated with a progressive loss of motor control (e.g., shaking or tremor at rest and lack of facial expression), as well as non-motor symptoms (e.g., depression and anxiety).

OUR MISSION
The Parkinson’s Foundation makes life better for people with Parkinson’s disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. In everything we do, we build on the energy, experience and passion of our global Parkinson’s community.
THE URGENCY
We are the nation’s leading community for people living with Parkinson’s, those who love them and those who are working to end the disease. The 1 million Americans living with PD deserve the promise of a cure and a better life today!
