Doing it with Sole For Parkinson's Disease (again)
Valas/ Buchin/Finkelstein Family fundraising for Parkinson's Institute
We're doing it again- raising money for the Parkinson's Institute! Please join us!
Eighteen years ago, at the age of 49, our husband/father/brother-in-law, Carl, was
diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressive movement disorder that affects approximately one million people in the U.S. PD causes decreased production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is necessary for, amongst other things, movement control. Parkinson’s symptoms vary, but can include tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement and lack of balance.
Parkinson’s is a family disease. Each of us has been affected and thus we are working together to support Carl and help others who are similarly inflicted. Carl has benefited from the continuity of excellent patient care, clinical drug trials and cutting-edge research that the Parkinson’s Institute provides. Our goal is to raise $20,000 (that's double what we did last year!) to fund the Parkinsons Institute's on-going work. Please help us find the treatment and ultimate cure that will benefit not just our family, but all those living with Parkinson’s Disease.
