Our country may be suffering from an economic downturn, but you'd never know it from the Pancakes for Parkinson's breakfast in Westlake Village on Oct. 18. Not only did several local businesses and individuals graciously donate their time, goods and services, but we had over 100 people attend, which was a huge success.
Our first annual event raised over $4,000, which will go to the San Fernando Valley Chapter of the American Parkinson's Disease Association (APDA) to help find a cure for Parkinson's disease.
The success of this event can only be attributed to the positive attitude from so many people and businesses in this community.
To the wonderful folks at the Westminster Presbyterian Church for allowing us to use their facility, to all those who donated, including Brent's Deli, Starbuck's, Corner Bakery, Mimi's Cafe and dozens of others, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks. We couldn't have done it without you.
To those individuals who have or know someone who has Parkinson's, keep up the fight.
You are not alone.
