"With nearly 1M people in the US inflicted with Parkinson's disease, and more than 6M people affected worldwide, chances are you have known someone either directly or indirectly impacted by this horrible condition.

Parkinson's has deeply affected many of us here in the Juniper Virtual Sales organization. We have experienced the tragic loss of loved ones in the past. We watch as some family members continue their battle in the present.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system. Symptoms vary from mild tremors, difficulty making basic muscle motions, to complete loss of movement, speech and memory.

Medications can help improve symptoms, but so far no cure has been found.

How can Parkinson's patients improve their well-being in the face of no full proof medication treatment or cure? The answer is exercise.

Exercise, for those fighting Parkinson's, can be a critical component when it comes to managing symptoms.

We here at Juniper Virtual Sales are running the Battleship race to promote exercise. We are running for everyone impacted by Parkinson's. We are running to raise awareness. We are running to honor those we have lost. We are running to stand with those who continue the battle today. We hope that you will stand with us, and if possible, run with us.
