Formed in 2000, Team Parkinson (TP) is a non-profit organization. Under the guidance of The Parkinson Alliance, the TP staff and volunteers work year round toward the goal of raising funds for research to find a cure for Parkinson's disease.
TP is an official Charity of the Los Angeles Marathon, the San Francisco Marathon, and participates in races throughout the country. Team Parkinson has been a presence in New York, Chicago, Orlando, Duluth, Big Sur, San Diego, Sacramento and other cities as well, and continues to look for more running events in which to participate.
How You Can Get Involved
You may participate in one of our established events, or use an upcoming event in your area to help Team Parkinson expand its fund raising efforts. Team Parkinson welcomes anyone concerned with finding a cure for Parkinson's disease-people with Parkinson's, caregivers, family and friends-to join us as a participant, supporter or volunteer.
What We Guarantee
Under the guidance of The Parkinson Alliance and the Parkinson's Unity Walk, we proudly guarantee that 100% of all net proceeds go directly to Parkinson's research.
What is Parkinson's Disease? Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurological disorder affecting more than a million Americans today. Currently there is no cure, but with your help there is hope.
