Movers & Shakers
for Parkinson's Awareness

Movers & Shakers is more than a team. We are a family. Formed in 2024 to walk in the Portland to Coast relay, our 12 walkers and three drivers spent 36 hours together in two vans, collectively walking 128 miles on very little sleep. We bonded for life. Our team, largely comprised of people with Parkinson’s disease, is not defined by limitations but rather by the desire to soar and meet challenges head-on. The Portland to Coast relay is a beautiful and empowering event, laced tighter than our sneakers with life lessons about resiliency, hope, and love. Whether walking through the Oregon Coastal Range in the rain at 3:17 a.m. or walking through life with an incurable neurodegenerative disease, together, we are better.
