APDA Kicks Off Optimism Walk Season
Due to the success of the 2020 virtual Walks, the Optimism Walks will remain virtual for springtime events. The remainder of the Walk season is scheduled to take place in person throughout the fall, with full adherence to all public health guidelines and safety measures.
The Optimism Walks are APDA’s signature fundraising event series and a nationwide movement to mobilize and inspire people to step up and help put an end to Parkinson’s disease (PD), according to a media release.
“This past year has been difficult in so many ways, especially for the Parkinson’s disease community who were already dealing with the challenges of life with PD. But there have been bright spots as well, one of those being our virtual Optimism Walks which enable us to come together in a safe way, and also expand to a much wider audience thanks to the virtual nature of the events.”
