Raise funds to improve the lives of people with Parkinson's, their caregivers and others affected by the disease.

Moving Day, benefiting Parkinson's Foundation South Palm Beach County Chapter, will take place Nov. 5 at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton. Registration begins at 8 a.m., and the walk starts at 10 a.m.

The goal of Moving Day is to help every person diagnosed with Parkinson's live their best possible life by providing a fun, inspiring and informative platform.

The day highlights the clinically proven benefits of an active lifestyle to control and improve one's symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Every event features a Movement Pavilion where people can participate in yoga, Pilates, boxing, dancing, stretching and Tai Chi.

"Moving Day is fun, it is great exercise and it's educational," said Robin Miller, executive director of Parkinson's Foundation South Palm Beach County Chapter. "But mostly, the support of the community enables us to continue to make meaningful changes in the lives of those with Parkinson's."

The Palm Beach event is co-chaired by Ed and Jodi Gray.

These nationwide walks focus on raising money to increase awareness of Parkinson's disease, fund cutting-edge research aimed at better treatment, the advancement of clinical care through healthcare professional training, and the path towards finding a cure.

In the last six years, Moving Day events have raised more than $14 million.
