Wal to End Parkinson's Disease
HSHS St. Anthony’s Physical Rehabilitation and Wellness invites the community to lace up their sneakers and join them in raising awareness and support for those living with Parkinson’s disease on Saturday, May 4.
Being held at the Richard E. Workman Sports and Wellness Complex, this second annual walk is for everyone in the community of any age to come out and support those with Parkinson’s disease. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to noon and include the walk alongside kids’ activities such as temporary tattoos, face painting, bubbles and sidewalk chalk, as well as a free luncheon provided by HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital.
There is no registration fee but donations are appreciated, with proceeds supporting local community members who have Parkinson's disease. HSHS St. Anthony's Rehabilitation and Wellness will use donations raised to purchase a new piece of technology specifically to help those with balance issues and help prevent falls for those with Parkinson's disease. Additionally, donations will go towards MyMemoryWorx, led by Kelly Willenborg. MyMemoryWorx helps provide resources and classes for those with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers.
Online registration is now open and strongly encouraged. Those who register by April 17 will receive a t-shirt on the day of the event, although day-of registration will be available. Each member of your family participating will need to register.
