We’re back! EXIT Shore Realty & The Roop Group are teaming up with the Lower Shore Parkinson’s Support Group in an effort to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease (PD) research & support by hosting the “WinHarrysCorvette.com” event and giving away Harry’s 1985 T-top Corvette!! This is going to be big! In the past we have held the “Party for Parkinson’s” with a charity casino raising thousands of dollars for this great cause. Now we are back bigger and better than ever. It’s our goal to organize a 2015 fundraising event for this cause and to raise over $20,000 for the Lower Shore Parkinson’s Support Group, Inc.
Our Broker and dear friend Harry Roop, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2009 and his father passed away from this disease. This year Harry was also diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer (the same cancer as our Governor Larry Hogan) and has just finished his last chemo treatment. And yes, he is rocking a new hairdo: bald. It’s a good look and he’s sporting it well :). We want to help Harry and everyone we can living on the Lower Shore who is affected by Parkinson’s disease. Harry has helped countless numbers of people in his lifetime and his warm heart has blessed hundreds of others. Harry is a man always giving to others before giving to himself, and this is our way to finally give back to him. Helping this group is really near and dear to our hearts! There are several thousand people on the Eastern Shore alone that are affected with this disease, so we are asking EVERYONE for help!!
The proceeds from this event will be put to good use. Parkinson’s disease is a chronic and progressive disease with no cure. Current medicines and surgeries can improve symptoms temporarily but cannot slow the progression. Proper exercise will not only improve one’s quality of life, but is thought to have some impact in slowing the pace of the disease. The local support group has put an emphasis on providing free or low cost exercise opportunities for the Parkinson’s community. It has funded “Dance for PD” classes and, currently, PWR! (Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery) classes weekly for its members. “The Lower Shore Table Tennis Club” is a program owned and operated by the support group with six tables located at Crown Sports Center. Persons with PD and their caregiver may attend without cost. The club is also made available to the public for a small fee. These classes require a funding source to pay for the use of facilities and a specially trained instructor. A portion of the local group’s proceeds will be donated to select national Parkinson’s organizations that make grants in support of research seeking a cure for the disease and for additional educational material that can affect the understanding and the management of PD symptoms.
