Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson’s Research: One of the organizations I love helping. My grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. This was upsetting to the family, and really touched me as I love him very much. He’s been a great grandfather so to help I wanted to raise money for research. In 2021 through friends and family I was able to raise $311 !!!
How it felt after seeing the money I raised, knowing it takes millions and millions for research. It felt small though it felt wonderful to know I’ve been a part of something great and even my small contribution will one day be felt far and long after I am gone.
My immediate family and I walked the 5k that day at Triad Park. I hope to run another fundraising campaign in 2022. This journey taught me a valuable lesson.
Make each day an effort to improve others lives. Even a small gesture can have far reaching effects.
*Update for 2022, due to illness we missed the virtual 5k for 2022 and will target 2023 to start a new campaign. In the meantime please donate at the Michael J. Fox Foundation website, I do!
