(I-Newswire) March 19, 2010 - Parkinson’s Fun Walk
Parkinson Research Foundation Announces Second Annual Walk

Tampa, FL--- The Parkinson Research Foundation will be presenting its second annual walk to raise awareness about Parkinson’s disease and money to help support the mission of the Parkinson Research Foundation.

On Saturday April 17th, 2010, the annual walk will be held in downtown Tampa and will begin at 9:00am. The walk will begin at Ballast Point Park and cover a 3 mile loop down Bayshore Blvd. and conclude back at the park.

This year’s walk has already gained the unanimous support of the Tampa community. The Parkinson Research Foundation hopes that bringing its cause to the streets will help raise awareness about over one million people across America who are affected by this crippling disease.

The money raised will be used to fund research, educational programs, advocacy and awareness efforts that will support Parkinson’s patients, caregivers and families in communities across America.

Registration will begin at 8:00am the day of the walk, however, preregistration is highly recommended. Walkers can participate as an individual or a member of a team. Registration is $20 dollars for adults and $10 dollars for children the day of the walk. The registration includes a Fun Walk T-shirt and one free Fun Walk raffle ticket.

For every $75 that a walker raises in sponsorships and pledges they will receive an additional ticket. Upon the completion of the walk a ticket will be drawn at random and the winner will be awarded a sensational prize. Additional raffle tickets can be purchased for $5 each.
