Saving Our Seniors

Mission: The mission of SOS is to help seniors regain and maintain a healthy and independent lifestyle to improve their overall quality of life in and outside of their home. SOS fills the gap between Medicare and financial limitations with a focus on providing more independence to seniors who would normally have to remain sedentary or face reinjury due to the unavailability of proper equipment to improve care options.

“Running for Parkinson’s research has brought new purpose and passion to my training. I’m proud to represent my charity on race day and the biggest inspiration is being approached by athletes on race day who also share a connection to Parkinson’s disease. Over the years, many of my friends and family have donated to this important cause and opened up to me about their own experiences with the disease. I’m thankful to support finding a cure by pushing myself mentally and physically.”
