Beyond the finish line
Taking action to get to a cure faster is not abstract. On May 30, you will stand at the start line alongside Valérie, Patrick, Magali, and many others who live with the reality of this condition every day. This initiative began in 2015 when our founder, Patrick Demoucelle—living with Parkinson’s himself—decided to run the Brussels 20k to raise funds for research.
What started as a personal challenge has grown into one of the largest teams at this annual event: a community of families, friends, and colleagues running for a shared goal and a better future for the next generation. Whether you run, walk, or participate in a wheelchair, wearing our team T-shirt you turn every step into visibility, and visibility into research momentum.
Run, or Walk, for Parkinson is not just a sporting event. It’s a deeply moving human experience where the disease steps into the light and ceases to be invisible.
