Each of our families (Roush and Riffle) experienced first-hand the devastation of this progressive neurodegenerative disorder had on each of our loved one and the entire family.
We were seeking something good to come out of this where we could serve others. With each of our fathers, they had PD but PD didn't have them. In memory of our fathers and thoughtful prayer, the tears turned into action through service to others.
The walk date in collaboration with PCCF was chosen because Teresa's father celebrated his birthday April 30th and Steve's father celebrated his May 2nd. This was also our families way of rising up to commemorate our fathers' legacies who were champions in their own way.
Our vision was and continues to be 1) raise community awareness of the real-life challenges of Parkinson’s Disease (PD), 2) assist in funding research for a cure on a national level, 3) provide assistance for those local PD families within our community through our collaboration with the Pickaway County Community Foundation. 4) to let all PD families within our community know they are not alone in the fight against PD!

The Pickaway County Community Foundation Parkinson's Fund distributes funds to the Parkinson’s Foundation to assist in funding research a cure. The local PCCF Parkinson's fund continues to serve as a conduit for several categories of quality of life tools to assist local caregivers and their loved ones living with PD in managing their symptoms, (e.g., walkers, laser guided walkers, wheelchairs, weighted utensils, plates, cups, services for the care partners, stairway chair lift, lift chairs) and sponsors those who wish to participate in the Parkinson's Wellness classes at OhioHealth Wellness center.
The funds directed to Parkinson Foundation assists in providing everything from lifesaving resources to delivering quality care to an estimated one million people (USA) living with Parkinson’s disease, as well as improve Parkinson’s treatments. All the while, supporting innovative research to find a cure.
