Celebrating movement and fighting back against Parkinson's disease, hundreds of people laced up their walking shoes at Miami's Tropical Park to take part in "Moving Day." Saturday's event, hosted by the Parkinson's Foundation, raises awareness and funds for research into the disease, which still has no cure. Every six minutes, someone is diagnosed with Parkinson's and about a million Americans are living with the disease, including CBS News Miami's Ted Scouten.
Main Idea: The Parkinson's Foundation's "Moving Day" walk in Miami raised at least $160,000 to support Parkinson's awareness and research.
Key Points:
Parkinson's disease still has no cure, so patients and families face ongoing health and care costs.
The Parkinson's Foundation fundraiser can boost research, awareness, and support for people living with Parkinson's across the US.
