Where will the funds go?
70%
Stays Local
Seventy percent of profits will be allocated to provide local services that benefit the Fresno Parkinson's community. Funds will be set aside for two purposes:
1. A Parkinson's exercise tuition fund.
-The Parkinson's exercise tuition fund will cover the cost of an exercise program of the person's choosing. Assistance will be provided based on financial need and will be capped at 5% of the total fund or $1000, whichever amount is lower. The chosen exercise program must be offered by a certified and insured fitness professional or insured fitness facility. As a bonus, Move Up Health and Fitness has committed to providing a 30% discount to the in-person Rock Steady Boxing Fresno memberships for those who qualify for the exercise tuition fund.
2. Self-care days for caregivers to someone with Parkinson's.
-The Movers and Shakers of Fresno, a Parkinson's support group organized by Move Up Health and Fitness, will organize two caregiver self-care days. Caregivers of a person with Parkinson's will be treated to a fun outing focused on self-care.
Because exercise has been shown to be the only tool capable of slowing the progression of Parkinson's disease, an exercise fund will improve access to a crucial resource and enhance quality of life for the Fresno Parkinson's community.
Providing care to someone with PD can take a significant amount of effort and time. Caregivers often spend so much of their time and energy on providing care for their loved one that they don't get to focus on themselves. While we recognize that giving them the space to focus on themselves on a couple of days throughout the year is not nearly enough, we hope that it will remind them that they are seen and not forgotten amid the struggles of the loved one they care for.
Goes to the Parkinson's Foundation
Thirty-percent of profits will be allocated to support the mission of the Parkinson's Foundation to improve quality of care for people living with Parkinson's disease through research, education, and outreach.
Contributions from community walks like ours help to support the many resources provided, free of charge, by the Parkinson's Foundation and bring us closer to finding a cure.
