Parkinson Association of the Rockies

96 teams have been created, 836 individuals are registered to participate - which means we still need 664 more to reach our goal of 1,500 Walkers. Are you registered yet? Is everyone you know registered?

 

As a reminder, if you or those you know are not able to physically join us in Wash Park in Denver or Sandstone Ranch in Longmont - you and they can still participate! Just select "Choose to Snooze" as your location when registering.   

 

When we reach our goal of registered walkers we only need to raise $45,000 more to reach our goal of $200,000 raised to provide programs and services to support, strengthen and empower our Parkinson's community. 

 

Thanks to all those who have already registered and are working hard to get friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and strangers to participate in the 13th Annual Vitality Walk - with your support and the support of our generous sponsors over $135,000 has already been contributed!

 

Walk the Walk that Connects Communities and Enhances Lives

  (Online Registration closes at 11:30am Saturday, June 6th - Day-of Registration increases to $35/Adult)
