Our 3rd annual Pump It for Parkinson's event brought out the competitive spirit in our residents, members, and staff! 💪

Throughout the day, the Wellness Center was filled with people coming together for a purpose: To raise awareness of the benefits of exercise for people living with Parkinson’s disease.

In partnership with JMU Hart School of Hospitality, Sport and Recreation Management students, the event also created meaningful opportunities for intergenerational connection, conversation, and learning.

Participants worked toward the nationwide goal of 50 million steps, and together logged an incredible 450,218 steps, surpassing last year’s total by over 10,500 steps!

Thank you to everyone who showed up, stepped up, and made a difference.
