We are excited to welcome John Zazzali and the John P. Stevens High School Marching Hawks, who will be bringing their incredible musical energy to the event and helping us kick off the walk in a truly special way.
With the powerful sound of marching band music filling the air, John and his students will set the stage for a morning of community, connection, and hope. Their performance will help energize our walkers and create an exciting atmosphere as we come together to support those affected by Parkinson’s disease.
We are profoundly grateful to Memphis community for your unwavering support, which has been truly remarkable.

Thank you for your tireless efforts in raising awareness and vital funds for the Parkinson’s Foundation.

It’s called the Real Talk Table. Sharlene and Sharon will be two of your hosts at the Real Talk Table in the Ask the Expert Tent. They know firsthand that life with Parkinson’s is about a lot more than what you might see on the outside.
The Real Talk Table is a chance to pull up a chair, take a breath, and talk honestly.
No speeches. No perfect answers. No pretending that everything is easy.
Just real people having real conversations about what it’s like to live with Parkinson’s.
