Join/support our team’s efforts!
Welcome, loyal former and hopefully new members of TEAM Brooklyn Parkinsons Group & Friends! We need your donations and support to fund research to cure our disease! Last year nearly 30 people joined our team, the most we'd ever had, and all of us together raised 16,900.00. Let's try to reach 17,000 this year! We need all of you to help! We are participating in the Parkinson’s Unity Walk in New York's Central Park, to help raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s disease research.
This year, Unity Walk organizers asked for April 30th to avoid Passover, but NY City gave them the fourth Saturday, as usual, and they were unable to change that. We are all very sorry about that, but many of us who celebrate the holiday are still, at the very least, still raising money for a cure for our disease.
BPG & Friends have again formed this team because more than one million people in the U.S. are living with Parkinson’s disease. The cause is unknown and while treatment options help to manage symptoms, currently there is no cure. Every walker and donor will bring the Parkinson's community one step closer to finding the cause of and cure for Parkinson’s disease.
Please either join our BPG team and forward this e-mail (or create your own) to your own friends and family, or please simply make a donation. 100% of donations go to research. Thanks! Your trustworthy capain, Leonore Gordon
