Walk for Parkinson’s 2008

The 7th Annual Walk for Parkinson’s started on a gorgeous spring morning, April 19, 2008 , in front of Lloyd Hall in the Art Museum Area of Philadelphia. The Walk proceeded down Kelly Drive with the sounds of bag pipers leading the way after an exciting send off by Dave Murphy, weatherman for Channel 6 Action News. Over 500 walkers joined the Phillie Phanatic for a 10-mile walk in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park. This year our community honored Suzanne and Dave Auten for their leadership over the past three years and helping to raise over $300,000 for The Council.

Months of planning by the Walk committee, lead by Jenn Lardani and Christina Lupo, produced a record-breaking $190,000 in donations by sponsors, teams and individuals. Last year’s response to the Walk was fabulous – we had six new teams and more young people involved which helped us to move $30,000 past our goal for this year. Monies raised from the Walk will underwrite local research projects.

The Parkinson Council and 2008 Walk Committee would like to send their deepest appreciation to all of those that helped make this year’s Walk the most successful yet!
