"moving Day" National Parkinson Foundation Raised Over $500,000

 An estimated one million people in the U.S. are a living with PD, with 60,000 new cases diagnosed each year. PD is a chronic and progressive movement disorder, meaning that symptoms continue and worsen over time. The cause is unknown, and although there is presently no cure, there are treatment options such as medication and surgery to manage its symptoms.

Exercise along with physical therapy help improve mobility, balance and daily activities for those with PD:  

• In fact, researchers now believe that exercise may actually help slow the progression of the disease.
• Exercise also alleviates symptoms associated with PD such as tremor, issues with balance and gait, flexibility and motor coordination

We want to thank the the 1,500+ participants and amazing supporters of Moving Day® Miami who have helped raise over $500,000 to beat Pd with us at Bayfront Park. The money you helped to raise will have a profound impact on the lives of people with Parkinson's, and we are excited to continue in our efforts for improving the lives of everyone in our community. Thank you for showing us how “People Who Move Change The World®” 

Moving Day® Miami raised $567,995 (100% of the goal, which was $500,000)
