Mark your calendar for the first Sunday in June. Put on your favorite walking attire and join me and my friends and family at Washington Park in Denver. The annual event is sponsored by the Parkinson's Association of the Rockies (PAR). The goal this year is to have 1,200 walkers participate while promoting community awareness about Parkinson's disease and raise over $100,000 to support programs and services of PAR.
As one who had lived with PD since diagnosed in 2004, I am constantly reminded of the vital role PAR plays in my daily activities. I attend a free yoga class one day each week. Participants and the instructor have all been diagnosed. The class is led by Paul Zeiger Ph.D., who encourages maintaining a healthy diet, good sleep habits, exercise, recreation and continuous learning in the fight against PD. www.parkinsonsyoga.org
I invite you to support the efforts of PAR by donating, then join me on the walk June 2nd.

I look forward to seeing you at Washington Park, June 2nd.
