Margot Zobel, the Founder and Director of the Parkinson's Unity Walk will share Parkinson's related news and insights on a periodic basis.
May 2007
There was something very special about this year’s Unity Walk. Maybe it was the fact that more people joined us than ever before (about 11,000). Or that we raised a whopping $1.6 million for research. Or maybe it was because it was the first time that I formed a team of my own, and we exceeded our goals. (Next year we’ll have to set higher goals.)
It was all of those things – and something more. There was a joyful spirit that was felt by everyone who was there, old-timers and newcomers alike. It was as if there were no such thing as a “Parkinson’s mask”: everyone seemed to be smiling. Friends of mine who came to the Walk for the first time all said “I met so many friendly people there!”
Yes, it was a very special day, and it was you that made it so. Congratulations to each and every one of you!
love,
Margot
