An important (and fun-filled) fundraising event that offers a short non-competitive walk and other family-friendly activities, prizes and more!
Walking the full distance is not mandatory! Participants can walk as much or as little as they choose.
Each Optimism Walk is part of a nationwide movement to mobilize and inspire people to set up and help put an end to Parkinson's disease. Be a part of it!
Why Walk?
Because every nine minutes someone is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
The more funds we raise, the more people we can help.
Great Incentive Prizes!
Raise $100 or more and get a free Optimism Walk t-shirt!
Raise $1000 or more and receive a personalized sign along the walk course!
Raise $5,000+ and become a Star Walker! Receive a personalized sign along the walk course and additional recognition during our Opening Ceremony!
Funds raised enable APDA to continue providing local education and support to those touched by PD in your community and fund scientific research into the causes, prevention, treatments and ultimately the cure.
And, because it's going to be a GREAT day!
