This Year?s ?Moving Day? Walk for Parkinson?s Moves to North Shore Riverwalk
?
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 6, 2012?Katie Couric, Honorary National Chair of the National Parkinson Foundation?s (NPF) Moving Day campaign, along with the National Parkinson Foundation of Western Pennsylvania, are asking Pittsburghers to get up and Move on the morning of September 29, 2012, at North Shore Riverwalk.
?
More than 1 million Americans have Parkinson?s, and 50,000 new cases are diagnosed every year, affecting those with the disease and their caretakers. Moving Day helps the NPF provide education and resources; offer outreach programming; support research on Parkinson?s-related treatment; train healthcare professionals dealing with Parkinson?s; and raise awareness with government officials and communities throughout the U.S. Couric, whose father recently died from Parkinson?s-related complications, continues to support the annual Moving Day walk.
?
This year?s event moves to a much larger venue to accommodate participants who will be walking, stretching, or simply moving to unite in the fight against Parkinson?s disease (PD).
In addition to the 1.5-mile walk, participants may visit the ?Movement Pavilion,? and join in activities like yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, dance, and other forms of exercise.? Kids especially will have a variety of activities in which to participate, including face painting, tattoos, Mike the Balloon Guy, Music by Joe Grushecky, Eat n Park Simile cookies and much more.
