Caregiver support meetings managed and hosted by Peggy Hubbell.
At the "Hope Blooms Pickaway County Parkinson's Support Group" meetings, people experiencing PD and their care partners have the opportunity to share information for newly diagnosed people and their care givers, share tips for managing a loved one's care, navigating a relationship with a Parkinson's diagnosis and making time to care for oneself. Real people sharing real experiences! Care Partner Support groups the third Monday of every month at 11:00 a.m. at the South Bloomfield Methodist Church, 5027 2nd St. West in South Bloomfield, Ohio 43103
We will also have special events by inviting speakers, and information on access to special events regarding information on managing symptoms, updates on the search for a cure, etc.
A care partner is an essential member of a person's medical and care teams. While most care partners are spouses, children, siblings, and parents, even friends can be part of the care team.
The role of a Parkinson's care partner will evolve over the years; therefore, we want to offer you resources and action plans to help YOU live well while also while providing the best care possible for your loved one.” Thank you to our many PD Care Partners who are so readily available to help others! It comes with joy, tears, hugs, and friendships created. No one walks alone. Your work and selfless commitment is priceless to others!

We are "Stronger Together"
On behalf of the Parkinson's Walk for a Cure, we extend our sincerest “THANKS” to our community of walkers, our sponsors, the wonderful members of the Parkinson’s Walk for a Cure advisory board/steering committee, and each of our volunteer team members who so graciously ensure the planning, setup, and cleanup of the park after the event is completed. Your amazing commitment and service to others is unparallelled!
We are also very appreciative of the Great Lakes Chapter - Parkinson Foundation’s staff, for their steadfast support, and our incredibly talented event speaker - Mr. Dan Shotwell, for his commitment and contributions to others through his work as a board member with the Great Lakes Chapter.
We would also like to thank our champion, Peggy Hubbell for her committment in leading the caregiver support program and Pastor Floyd Hubbell for the wonderful opening benediction to the 2025 walk.
We thank Alexis and Steven for their expert oversight in managing PCCF’s local Parkinson’s fund as it provides funding for devices and services (e.g., devices to ensure quality of life and symptom control, in-person exercise classes, caregiver support) to local families seeking to maintain quality of life for their loved ones as the search for a cure continues.
It is each of you as part of our wonderful community that make this event the success it is,
Thank you again!
The 2025 Parkinson’s Walk for a Cure was held at Mary Virginia Crites-Hannan Park on the last Saturday in April. The record-setting proceeds of this year’s walk and donations of approximately $28,900 will be divided equally between supporting the research in search of a cure (i.e., the national Parkinson Foundation) and continuing to assist local families experiencing PD (i.e., through the Parkinson fund managed by the Pickaway County Community foundation - PCCF).

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.

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!
