 On Sunday, June 7th, a total of 1,404 walkers participated on 114 teams in support of the 13th Annual Vitality Walk benefitting the Parkinson Association of the Rockies.
Team Longmont Locomotion had the largest team with 75 members, closely followed by Team Oh Snap, which had 60 registered team members, but participated as a Choose 2 Snooze team and hosted a Walk through their neighborhood and counted at least 120 participants. Team Jackson was the top fundraising team, bringing in over $74,200.00. Team Power Punch at Parkinson's was voted by KOOL 105 as 2015's Most Spirited Team.
Because of the support and help from all of you, the Parkinson Association of the Rockies surpassed the fundraising goal of $200,000.00 to provide programs and services which support, strengthen and empower our Parkinson's community. As of this moment over $216,500.00 has been raised - and donations are still rolling in!
