Parkinson Association of Central Florida is holding its annual walk April 1 with the goal of raising $100,000.

The foundation broke off from the national group two years ago and raises funds for Lake, Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties to support Parkinson’s research and local programs.

Nearly 500 people attended the walk last year and helped raise $73,000. The event is held at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs. Registration begins at 8 a.m. Visit parkinsoncf.org to register.
