Run for Parkinson 2017
A great 3rd edition of Run for Parkinson on May 28th 2017 at the occasion of the 20km or Brussels
- Patrick, diagnosed 12 years ago with Parkinson’s Disease, ran for the third time.
- For the first time, 8 other Parkinson patients took up the same challenge.
- In total, 414 people were running with the Run for Parkinson T-shirt.
Together they gave hope to other Parkinson patients and other people encountering a setback: so much remains possible, notwithstanding what happened.
We want to thank all the generous donors (individual and corporate), all the runners and everyone who made this big event possible.
1st participation of Parkinson patients with Patrick
The Belgian Parkinson patient organisations as well as neurologists specialized in Parkinson’s Disease, helped spread the message amongst Parkinson patients: join us for the 20km of Brussels! In the end, 7 patients took up the challenge and joined Patrick in the endeavor: Karina, Lydia, Frank, Piet, Caroline, Koen, and Frederik. Some ran 5 km, but 3 finished the full 20 kilometers. A fabulous example of courage, determination, can-do attitude and positivism.
