APDA Northwest Chapter

Love that @Thegroz is wearing an Optimism Walk shirt! Can't wait to celebrate him in two weeks 🎉🎉🎉

We are honoring Dave “The Groz” Grosby at the APDA Magic of Hope Gala for his impact in the Parkinson’s community. Since his diagnosis in 2018, Groz has continued to show up-now let’s show up for him. We invite you to make a gift in his honor: apdawasc.ejoinme.org/theGroz @gasman206
