Story
Moving Day Community Walk is coming to Deer Park! You don't want to miss this! Our community is safely getting together to help raise awareness and funds for the Parkinson's Foundation. This is your chance to speak up about Parkinson's and take action. Like so many others, our family has been affected by this terrible disease and that has motivated us to start what we hope will be an annual event here in Deer Park. Your support will help the Parkinson's Foundation advance research, provide educational resources, and fund programs that make life better for people living with Parkinson's disease. To learn more about the Parkinson's Foundation, go to Parkinson.org. Come back soon for more information about Community Walk.
