Crissy Field was filled with vibrant colors and massive energy for the 10th annual Moving Day San Francisco event on Saturday, May 4th. Even with the rain and wind, community members showed up to demonstrate their commitment to “moving to end Parkinson’s.”
Moving Day is an annual fundraising walk that brings together people with Parkinson’s disease, their caregivers, and loved ones. The event raises awareness and promotes exercise, which can help manage symptoms.
CIRM joined the event and met with attendees to share its commitment to funding cell and gene therapy research for Parkinson’s disease.
Community members of all ages stopped by the CIRM booth to learn more about us and our impact on Parkinson’s Disease. Information shared included highlights about Aspen Neuroscience and Kenai Therapeutics‘ clinical trials and work being done by BrainXell Therapeutics. We also shared information with younger attendees through coloring pages and word searches.
The event showed a community’s commitment to supporting a shared cause, Parkinson’s disease, despite the rain. The weather didn’t dampen the energy and motivated us to keep spreading the word about CIRM’s support for the Parkinson’s community.
