Get out and move with your community! Every dollar raised supports the Parkinson’s Foundation mission to make life better for people affected by Parkinson’s disease (PD). At Moving Day Community Walks across the country, we’re fighting Parkinson’s and celebrating movement — proven to help manage Parkinson’s symptoms — and we’re doing it together. The Moving Day Community Walk Program is a complement to the Parkinson’s Foundation Moving Day, A Walk for Parkinson’s. These walks are family-friendly and help the Foundation make life better for people with PD.
The Community Walk program offers volunteers an opportunity to organize a walk in their own community that does not have a Moving Day event. The program leverages the personal experiences and community leadership of passionate volunteers to promote Parkinson’s awareness and raise funds for the Parkinson’s Foundation.

In 2023, Moving Day, A Walk for Parkinson’s, Parkinson’s Revolution and Parkinson’s Champions raised a record-breaking $8.8 million to advance research, improve access to care and provide life-changing resources to people with PD and their loved ones.
Meet four fundraisers and volunteers who inspire us:
“I saw right away that Moving Day was more than just a walk, and I wanted to see how it changes people. I also wanted to help raise even one extra dollar for research so that the next person to get diagnosed doesn’t feel like I did. I want them to feel that there is hope.”
“Part of my goal is pushing for a cure for Parkinson’s and making sure people are aware of it, but the other part is finding people who look like me. The Parkinson’s Revolution ride reminded me I have a long road ahead but right now, I’m fighting and feeling great.”
“One of the lessons my dad taught me early on is you’re meant to test your limits and if you’re going to do that, find a cause that’s near and dear to your heart and raise awareness and money for it.”
“We love Moving Day. We all think the Parkinson’s Foundation is important because they have so much to offer people with Parkinson’s. When someone new comes to the gym, the first thing I tell them is to connect with the Foundation and use their resources. We are so happy we can help raise money to support the Parkinson’s Foundation.”
