Pictures: 11th annual Parkinson Walk at Cranes Roost Park
Hundreds of Central Floridians participated Saturday morning in the 11th annual Parkinson Walk, a charity event for the Parkinson Association of Central Florida.
The gathering at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs raised more than $150,000 to help fund local programs, education and research projects to find a cure for the neurological disease. An estimated 90,000 new cases of Parkinson's disease are diagnosed each year in the U.S.
WESH-Channel 2 chief meteorologist Tony Mainolfi was the honorary host for the event, which included speeches by Todd Stewart, president of the Parkinson Association of Central Florida and John Gabriel, Orlando Magic executive and former president of the local Parkinson's group.
