The 7th annual Walk for Parkinson’s will help to promote research initiatives to find the causes and cure for Parkinson's disease, educating patients, their caregivers, healthcare professionals and the general public about Parkinson’s and improving the quality of life for patients and their families. The event is sponsored by the Parkinson’s Council (National Parkinson Foundation). Last year, this event helped raise over $150,000! Please help in making this year even bigger!

Event registration is $25 dollars, and can be done online through Sudar Phani. The GSA has a limited budget to cover registration fees for participants, and will do so on a first-come,
first-served basis. The walk will start at Lloyd Hall and go to the Falls Bridge and back (or any shorter distance in between).

Lloyd Hall (1 Boathouse Row, Philadelphia PA) – 9:00 AM

To participate in this event, please contact Sudar Phani as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing you at these events.
