No one should face Parkinson’s alone
Inspired by Glenn’s own journey with Parkinson’s and his lifelong commitment to giving back, the project raises money and awareness for local charities and programs that bring care, resources and hope to patients and families.
Guided by Glenn’s belief in service and generosity, our goal is simple: no one in Acadiana should face Parkinson’s alone.
