May 15 is designated as Palestinian Nakba Remembrance Day, a day of “lifting prayer for peace, giving solidarity for those suffering under occupation.” The Nakba which means “catastrophe” in Arabic, refers to the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians in 1948 by Jewish armed groups and as a result of the Arab-Israeli war. Many view this experience as ethnic cleansing. The dispossession and displacement of Palestinians continues to this day as seen in ongoing events in Gaza and on the West Bank which include the continuing Israeli assault and blockade upon the people of Gaza, starvation in Gaza, and violence on the West Bank.

Parkinson’s Unity Walk 2025
On April 26, I will participate virtually in the Parkinson’s Unity Walk. You can support me with a donation! I’ll walk in Albuquerque as people walk in Central Park, New York. I walk in memory of Bill Handler—our team name is William the Conqueror in his honor. I also walk in support of Bob VanDale, a college professor and friend. And I walk for all affected by Parkinson’s.
The Parkinson’s Unity Walk is powered by The Michael J. Fox Foundation to raise critical funds for Parkinson’s research and public policy priorities. Please consider supporting my efforts by donating through my fundraising page.
This year, every dollar you donate through event day will be matched up to $1.5 million—doubling the impact of your gift! Your support helps speed new Parkinson’s treatments and moves us closer to a world without the disease.
100 percent of the Unity Walk proceeds go directly to The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s high-impact research and policy programs.
The need is greater than ever!
