Every Dollar
Moves Us Forward.
$26 is one marathon mile. $262 is a first marathon. Every dollar funds movement, research, and community for people living with Parkinson's.
Why Your
Donation Matters
Ten million people worldwide live with Parkinson's disease. Every single one of them deserves access to community, to research, and to the simple, powerful truth that movement can change the course of their condition.
Run With Parkinson's was founded by Dan Alperin — a man who ran six World Marathon Majors, raised $200,000 for charity, and then received a Parkinson's diagnosis and kept running. Your donation keeps that mission alive. It funds community programming for people who need a pack. It supports research partnerships that are changing what we know about exercise and neurodegeneration. And it keeps the message moving: a diagnosis is not a finish line.
"Every dollar is a mile. Every mile is a message."
This is not a big institution asking for a check. This is a runner — and a community of runners — asking you to believe that movement is medicine. And to fund the proof.

Your Donation in Action
"I was able to join a local running group because of this community. I'd never have done it alone. Dan's mission gave me courage."
"The resources here helped me understand my husband's diagnosis in a completely different way. We started walking together three mornings a week."
Other Ways to Give
Every path to giving is a path worth taking.
Fundraise in Dan's Honor
Create your own fundraising page and rally your community around the mission. Run a race, hold a birthday drive, or just share your story. Every personal page amplifies the movement.
Corporate Matching
Many employers match charitable donations dollar-for-dollar — sometimes up to 3x. Check with your HR department. A $100 gift could become $200 or $300 for the mission at zero extra cost to you.
Planned Giving
Consider including Run With Parkinson's in your estate planning. A planned gift creates a lasting legacy that will fund movement, community, and research for generations of people living with Parkinson's.
Every dollar. Every mile.
Every reason.
