My father-in-law is living with Parkinson's Disease, and my mother-in-law is his primary caregiver. I currently serve on the board for Greenville Area Parkinson's Society and have seen the enormous impact this organization has had on not just patients suffering from Parkinson's, but also on their family, friends and loved ones who care for them. Strides for GAPS is a celebration walk for people with Parkinson's and their families. The event features a 0.4 mile walk around Conestee Park, food, music, local vendors who serve the community, and activities for children. Strides for GAPS is the organization's largest fundraiser providing the Upstate community the opportunity to celebrate people living with Parkinson's Disease while raising vital funds to further the GAPS mission.
