Dear {subtag:name},

 
UPDATE Sent: Friday September 4 2020 2:40:20PM
Subject: Parkinson's VIRTUAL Walk in the Woods

Run, walk, sit, knit! 
 
Whatever activity you choose will work for this year's VIRTUAL WALK. So muster a team and gather sponsors for the 9th annual Walk in the Woods for Parkinson's.
 
Please see the attached information and registration sheets. 
 
We're still providing exercise for members to help them keep moving.  And we're working through the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research to find a cure, prevention, and better treatments for the chronic neurological disease.
 
You are receiving this message because you participated in a previous walk.  Thank you.  We hope you will continue to support your friends and community members with Parkinson's.  The next year's big event will be held on Sunday, September 19, 2021
 
Best,
Sue Pelchat, President
Torrington Area Parkinson's Support Group
 

 

 IT's TIME FOR THE ANNUAL PARKINSON's WALK


CREATE YOUR TEAM ONLINE OR MAIL IN

Our walk will look a little different this year; it will be VIRTUAL.

That means that we will not actually walk together. We will sign up as teams, either online or mail in. Teams can walk and take photos and video and send them to us to display on our website. (See accompanying documents)

To manually sign-up, download the attached documents and mail them in with a check as has been done in the past. Teams will not be displayed on the website if registered via mail.

Sign up and create your team, which allows website visitors to track your team’s progress. Once you take your walk, you can edit your team and upload photos and videos.

To create your virtual team online, you will need to have a working email address, the names and emails of up to 5 team members plus yourself and the amount each is donating. As the team leader you make the donation and collect individually from your team members. You will need a credit or debit card. If you can do Facebook, you can do this. But if you do need help, call Mike @ 860-294-2444 (10am to 4pm M-F eastern time) 
 
 
Once the team is created it will show on the Teams Page.
 
 
 
There is a JOIN TEAM button on each team’s profile. Tell your friends the name of your team and they can sign up and donate from your team’s profile

There are instructional videos on how to donate and create a team. When you create a team an account will automatically be created and the logins will be sent to the originator’s email.

 

 
NEW CORPORATE AND PRIVATE DONATIONS
 
We are now able to take corporate and private donations. This is separate from the walk. For general TAPSG donations share this link with your friends.
 
 
 
 COME ON PEOPLE, LETS SEE SOME ACTIVITY. TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!
