Dolomite Fundraising Trek 2020
This 8 night, nine day mountainous hike in Northern Italy is to empower those with Parkinsonโs disease to know โTHEY CANโ and to inspire others around the world with Parkinsonโs to do more than they ever thought possible! This adventure will take place from September 5 to September 13th, 2020. Training for the hike will begin in April with a kickoff hike at Lake Poway. We will stay in a combination of mountain โRefugiosโ (huts) and in small hotels sprinkled throughout the Dolomite mountains. Whether you hike with us virtually (we will tell you how) or join us in Italy this effort will reward you with power, friendships and a huge sense of accomplishment for years to come. We are so proud to be raising money for the wonderful Parkinsonโs Association of San Diegoโฆ.not only will we be healing ourselves but our altruistic endeavors will reward this wonderful community we live in. JOIN US!
