Race raises $56,000 for those affected by Parkinson’s

Aug. 27, 2016

The eighth annual Speedy PD Race for Parkinson's Disease drew in over 800 runners to Tuttle Creek State Park Saturday.

The eighth annual Speedy PD Race for Parkinson's Disease drew in over 800 runners to Tuttle Creek State Park Saturday.

The Speedy PD raises money for the Meadowlark Hills Parkinson Fund aimed at helping people affected by PD in the Flint Hills region.

The annual fundraiser helps people like Allen Sylvester of Wamego, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2008.

“If you can imagine like being frozen and when you’re on the medication you unfreeze and you can do your regular life tasks. But it sneaks up on you and freezes you solid,” said Sylvester.

This year’s Speedy PD runners raised $56,000 for Parkinson’s programs in the Flint Hills.

“All of the money that we raise today stays here in the Flint Hills to help pay for programs, exercise classes and equipment people might need to help live better with the disease. We bring in speakers so that we can provide more education to people,” said Michelle Haub, Meadowlark Hills Parkinson’s Program Director.
