Help us support the memory of my mom, Kathy, and her fight with Parkinson's

On April 13th, 2020, we lost my mother, Kathy (our team's namesake), in the fight against Parkinson's and all that comes with it. This year we will walk together again in Central Park and continue the fight to cure Parkinson's.

My mother was a fierce advocate for fund rasing and research and her last effort in that goal was to donate her brain to Parkinson's research. She was diagnosed in 1986 at 39 years old and had deep brain stimulators implanted in 1999. She hoped that the effects of Parkinson's that she went through could be studied and could benefit those who are still around and living with this life changing disease.

She didn't suffer from Parkinson's, she lived with it and she fought against it. She was a strong, fierce and stubborn to the end, she wanted to be independent despite her limitations and she went out of her way to take care of others above herself.

Her family and friends loved her dearly and she will be deeply missed. Please help our team, support the cause, and honor her memory with a donation. <3

100% of all donations go directly to Parkinson's research. We will walk together again this year in NYC!
