Hello Family, Friends and my supporters in the battle against Parkinson’s Disease. 

Wow!  What a year it has been since we last walked.  I retired and I’m working out regularly, monitoring my medicines more closely, and continuing to learn about PD — how it affects individuals and how much we have to learn.  Dr. Rodriguez and his team are encouraging and open to all questions.

I am also deeply grateful for your support.  I couldn’t do this without you. You have literally picked me up when I have fallen. And we’ve counted steps together many times.  

I am blessed to have the best advocate and cheer leader, my husband, Bill.  

I hope you will join us on the Walk for Parkinson’s on Saturday, April 4th.  Walking together brings me hope that with awareness and donations we can make a difference. The money that we raise goes to local programs, education and wellness initiatives. 

I hope you can join me and/or contribute a donation for the Walk for Parkinson.

With my love and appreciation,

Gracie
