What it is:
– Each Optimism Walk is part of a nationwide movement to mobilize and inspire people to step up and help put an end to Parkinson’s disease. Be a part of it!
– An important (and fun-filled) fundraising event that offers a short (1 mile) non-competitive walk and other family-friendly activities, prizes and more!
– Walking the full distance is not mandatory! Participants can walk as much or as little as they choose.

* * ONLINE REGISTRATION STRONGLY ENCOURAGED: www.apdaparkinson.org/NY * *

Why Walk?
– Because every nine minutes someone is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
– The more funds we raise, the more people we can help.
– Funds raised enable APDA to continue providing local education and support to those touched by PD in your communities through our APDA Information & Referral Centers at St. Catherine of Siena Wellness Center (Commack) and NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine (Old Westbury) as well through other critical programs and services throughout Long Island.
– And, because it’s going to be a GREAT day!

There will be exhibits, refreshments, music, entertainment, giveaways and much more!
Rain or shine!
