    On April 24, 2004 there was the 10th Annual Parkinson's Walk, more than 7,000 people turned up for the walk to help raise money for a cure. The walk took place in Central Park, New York City and thousands of dollars was raised. The walk began in 1994 and has become more popular every year since. It is a good way to excerise and helps to find a much needed cure. Michael J Fox participated in the walk and here are some pictures from the event:
