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!

45 Mile Outdoor Challenge for The Trevor Project

I’ve signed up for the 45 Mile Outdoor Challenge for The Trevor Project because this cause is close to my heart. I want to take action and make an impact. And I would love your help. Whether you donate $5 or $500, every bit counts. I’ve set an ambitious goal because I know that with support from people like you, I can get there.

The Trevor Project’s mission is to end suicide among gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning young people. Learn more here: thetrevorproject.org.

Thank you for your support!

William (that’s my first name) MARK
