Pinky's Passion for a Parkinson's Cure is having their 3rd annual Walk to the Future . . . . a future without Parkinson's disease - on Saturday, July 28th at the Edmonds-Woodway High School, 7600 - 212th S. W., Edmonds, WA 98026.

The Walk goes from 10 am to 3 pm - but people don't need to be present the whole time. They can come for an hour or stay the whole day. There will be two bands, Third Training Running and Pinky's All Stars, playing throughout the day.

There will be a "dunk" tank this year - which should prove to be fun on a hot day. The registration fee is $35 and includes an event t -shirt and a box lunch. Children under 10 are free.

In attendance this year will be Miranda Lanzillotti, an Officer from Team Fox (the Michael J. Fox Foundation's grassroots fundraising organization).

Pinky, aka Pat Erickson, and her husband Steve are members of Team Fox and were invited to attend Michael J. Fox's MVP Awards dinner in April of this year, based on the level of donations. Last year Pinky's Passion gave Team Fox $35,000. Pinky's Passion is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity. In addition to giving to the Fox Foundation, Pinky's Passion supports two local Parkinson's foundations; the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation and the Washington State Chapter of the American Parkinson's Association.
