Major Dan Harding was diagnosed at the age of 33 with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease. He was initially concerned about how he was going to manage this terminal and incurable disease and still provide for his family. He learned a few things that have opened his eyes and helped him put it all in perspective: a renewed emphasis on health and fitness, a healthy diet; be actively involved in his medical treatment, added yoga, tai chi, and physical therapy to his regimen.

Start your run/walk in America the Beautiful Park and run/walk north on Santa Fe Trail. Johnny and the Rockets playing 50s and 60s tunes and a bouncy castle for the kids. Five-member teams and all members finish times count. Kids races. Everyone receives a Shak'n not Stirred bracelet at finish line!

Support the local Parkinson's foundation and Team Fox research to find a cure!
