Meet Dylan – his involvement in Moving Day stems from the impactful journey his family experienced after his father’s Parkinson’s disease diagnosis. He became a pillar of support for his mother, his father’s primary caregiver. When Dylan was introduced to Moving Day through a colleague with a similar experience, he found a community that understood the challenges.
In 2023, Dylan’s team raised over $6,000. Moving Day became a meaningful way to support his parents from a distance, and the connections he made have been invaluable. Moving Day offers a way to unite people for a crucial cause while providing crucial resources for families like Dylan’s.
