Nutrition and hydration are important for everyone, but they can be especially meaningful for people with Parkinson’s. A balanced diet can help maintain energy and overall health, while fiber and fluids can support digestive health. Hydration is also important because dehydration can contribute to constipation and low blood pressure – both common concerns in Parkinson’s.

We’re excited to share that there will be a face painter at our event! Be sure to stop by the Kids Zone so your little ones can join in the fun and get their faces painted —kids at heart are welcome too! Find her at the Kids’ Zone from 9:15 am to 10:45 am!
 

This year’s Moving Day Miami will be an extra special one as we mark 15 years of bringing the Miami-Dade Parkinson’s community together — and we’re excited to welcome Raymond Dueñas as the emcee for this milestone event!

A Miami native and dedicated community leader, Raymond has built his career around connecting with and giving back to the community he calls home, making him a wonderful addition to this year’s Moving Day Miami.

We had a fantastic time kicking off Parkinson's Foundation Moving Day Richmond VA at the Richmond Kickers game!

Thank you Richmond Kickers for hosting and helping us connect with so many community members. We were excited to see such great attendance and interest in this year's event.

Special shoutout to Jessica and team for representing us and bringing face painting to the game. It was the first time face painting has been offered at a Kickers game, and it was a huge hit!

For most of his life, Dale Picciano has answered the call to serve others. From joining the U.S. Marines in 1977 to spending 32 years as a firefighter and paramedic with the City of Miami, service and community have always been at the heart of who he is.

After retiring in 2013, Dale looked forward to traveling, spending time with family and friends, and enjoying a new chapter of life. But after years of experiencing unexplained movement and non-movement symptoms, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2022 at the age of 65.

What was supposed to be a vacation to Nice, France, took an unexpected turn for Harry when he fell down an escalator at London’s Heathrow Airport, striking his head and suffering a concussion.

While hospitalized, Harry experienced frightening hallucinations, at one point believing he was being kidnapped and calling his son for help. He was eventually medically transported back to Miami on New Year’s Day. Just days later doctors confirmed a diagnosis that would change his life: Parkinson’s disease.

But Harry has never been someone to let a challenge define what comes next.
