"If it's not fun, we won't do it", says Pat (Pinky) Erickson, President of Pinky's Passion for a Parkinson's Cure, with regard to fundraising. There was lots of fun to be had at Pinky's 4th Annual Walk to the Future, a future without Parkinson's.

The Walk was held underneath a perfectly blue sky at the Edmonds-Woodway Stadium on July 27th and held something for everyone; face painting and games for the kids, a dunk tank, door prizes, band performances, sun-bathing, and some people actually walking.

Pinky herself took to the stage at the end of Third Train Running's set to sing a rousing rendition of "I'll Fly Away". 

Taco Time was there, too.

Amidst the fun, the group raised over $24,000 which will go to Parkinson's research.  Pat says they cheerfully accept contributions all year long. Their address P.O. Box 55063, Shoreline, 98155 or online.
