What is the cause of this event?
Parkinson's Disease is the second most common neurological disorder, affecting thousands across the country. The mission of Beat Parkinson's Today is to improve the quality of life of people with Parkinson's through high interval training and boxing. The goal is to provide those with this disease a motivating, beneficial, supportive and effective exercise program.
Over the years, Beat PD Today has spread throughout the state and country. It was made possible thanks to those who have supported us and dedicated their time indefinitely to a common cause. We now have a group of people who believe in one another and motivate each other everyday. It is time to raise awareness and money by doing what we do best, punching away Parkinson's! In order to find a cure, we need everyone's help. Join our cause, let's fight this fight together!
Think Strong, Move Srong, Be Strong. Beat Parkinson's Today.
