Felder is an ambassador for this year s Parkinson s Foundation Moving Day event, at 10 a.m. May 22 at Wauwatosa s Hart Park, 7300 Chestnut St. The event is scheduled to be a drive-thru, noncontact event where people can hear speakers, visit resource tents and learn more about Parkinson s disease.
People can also attend virtually by participating in various instructor-led exercises, learning about resources and hearing inspiring stories.
Felder has already raised $960 for event, with a goal of $1,500, she said.
In its five-year history, Moving Day in Milwaukee has raised nearly $264,000 for local research and programs. Not a death sentence
