About Moving Day
Moving Day is a Walk-a-Thon type fundraising event. But it’s also a time when the PD community comes together to honor loved ones with PD, raise awareness about PD, and embrace the power of exercise – the only thing proven to slow PD progression.
Moving Day fundraising supports the work of the Parkinson’s Foundation and provides participants a unique opportunity to connect with others on similar journeys, discover invaluable resources, and foster meaningful connections.
This Saturday, representatives from the Parkinson’s Foundation will be present to answer questions and register your team for Moving Day San Jose on Saturday, May 2, at Lake Cunningham Regional Park – OR – Moving Day San Francisco on Saturday, May 16, at Levi’s Plaza (new location).
