U.S. Senator Cory Booker (NJ) will serve as the Grand Marshal of Moving Day Miami, a community walk sponsored by the National Parkinson Foundation and presented by Terranova Corporation.
The walk will commemorate the life of Janet Reno, a longtime friend, supporter and advocate for greater Parkinson’s research funding. This event will raise awareness of Parkinson’s disease and funds to support local community grants to improve the lives of those living with PD.
The walk takes place at 9 a.m. Sunday, November 13, at Miami’s Museum Park.Senator Booker is committed to raising awareness of Parkinson’s in memory of his father, who suffered from the disease. In 2014, Sen. Booker filmed a public service announcement for NPF to raise awareness of the early warning signs of PD
“My mother was a caregiver to my father, who had Parkinson’s. That is why I am so thankful for organizations like NPF that offer support, strength and hope to people living with this terrible disease, as well as their families and caregivers.”- Sen. Cory Booker
She set an example for people living with Parkinson’s and she set an example for so many more to live life to the fullest, to be humble and to do the right thing. I will never forget how Janet comforted me when my parents were diagnosed with Parkinson’s. She is a legend to me and many.”- John W. Kozyak, Chairman of the Parkinson’s Foundation and personal friend of Reno:
