5th Annual PD Walkers at the Des Moines Marathon
– October 21, 2012
What is PD Walkers?
PD Walkers is a group that is committed to raising funds for the IA Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association. They have participated in the Des Moines Marathon since 2008, have had nearly 300 people participate, and raised over $43,000 to help the APDA in their mission to Ease the Burden to Find a Cure for PD.
The three goals of the PD Team is to raise Parkinson's Awareness, to empower and inspire people with PD on the benefits of exercise and to ultimately help raise funds for research organizations to find a cure for PD. The IA Chapter provides resources to help reach these goals.
Because of you…We now have Delay the Disease classes being offered at the YMCA Healthy Living Center. If you have Parkinson's or know someone who has Parkinson's, please let them know about the opportunity to attend this program. You can try out the classes and this awesome facility free.
