The Reason
Please support this annual event! We join thousands of people around the globe who are turning their passions into Team Fox fundraisers to speed a cure for Parkinson’s. 100 percent of what you give goes straight to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. The Foundation aggressively searches for a cure and improved therapies for this debilitating disease. More than six million people worldwide live with Parkinson's today. It is the second most common neurological disorder. In the United States, approximately 60,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year alone.
The Event
Outpace Parkinson's 6, the annual 5K run/1 mile walk, is GOING VIRTUAL ONE MORE YEAR! It happens on April 17, 2021, in Athens, GA. Register at active.com. See pdathens.com for more details.
The Method
Runners will complete 3.1 miles anytime, anywhere, and submit times before noon, April 17th, at tiny.cc/OutpaceParkinsons5KTimes. Walkers who complete a 5K will do the same.
