Walk To Stamp Out Parkinson's

Sign up to walk, or donate, here. The Parkinson Council is the premier organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with Parkinson’s, care partners, and families in the Delaware Valley region. Money's raised at The Walk to Stamp Out Parkinson's Disease will be shared locally.

The Parkinson Council is dedicated to helping people in our region who are affected by Parkinson’s—individuals living with Parkinson’s Disease, people who have been newly diagnosed, and care partners. Whether it’s a support group, dance classes for people with Parkinson’s, or webinars with the latest medical information, we can connect you with the right resources for your journey.

Since its start, A Walk to Stamp Out Parkinson’s has raised over $3.4 million for vital comprehensive care, education, outreach, social support, innovative research, and fun initiatives like art, music, dance, and singing. 

For over two decades, A Walk to Stamp Out Parkinson’s has been our region’s “go-to” event to raise awareness and funds to support local families impacted by Parkinson’s disease.

From managing a new diagnosis to navigating new roles, having a team of loved ones, confidants, energizing friends, empathic providers, and curious researchers makes Parkinson’s journey well-rounded to live a high-quality life.  We hope you join us to celebrate the resiliency, grit and grace of our local community!
