Founder and CEO, Meridian Clinical Research
Young onset Parkinson’s patient, walked 2,503 miles across the United States for Parkinson’s in 2018.
“With my walk across America, I set out to inspire others, but amazingly, the people affected by Parkinson’s disease that I met along the way became my inspiration and kept me going, even to this day. These individuals and the 10’s of thousands more living with PD across America, are stories that need to be told. Jim & Scott’s project, which will bring these incredible stories to life, not only will inspire the Parkinson’s community, but also bring Americans together, instilling hope for our collective future, for their diversity, resiliency, positive determination and benevolent humanity are quintessentially American. Please support the Parkinson’s Across America project, sometimes inspiration is all around us, we just need people like Jim and Scott to shine a light on it.”
