Peaks for Parkinsons
Peaks for Parkinson's has turned a love of hiking into a mission. Every dollar raised means more miles on the trail. Join us!
Peaks for Parkinson's was born from a simple truth shared by three families — the Coileys, Stinsons, and the Selbys — all navigating life with a loved one affected by Parkinson's Disease. One of the best tools for managing Parkinson's is staying active, and all three families happened to share a love of the outdoors. So five years ago, we laced up our boots and turned that shared passion into a mission.
Every year, our team takes on an extreme hiking challenge — summiting mountains, logging miles, and pushing our limits — to raise money and awareness for the fight against Parkinson's. We call it the Founder's Challenge: the more our community raises, the harder we hike. It's our way of putting our bodies on the line alongside every dollar donated.
Five years in, we've hiked hundreds of miles and raised close to $100,000. Parkinson's isn't going anywhere yet — and neither are we. Your donation keeps us moving.

Blue Ridge 5 Peak Challenge - October 3rd
Five peaks for five years. Please join us for some fall hiking in the blue ridge mountains just outside DC on October 3rd this year. In 12 hours, we will complete 5 summits of Ravens Rock or Bears Den. A 7 to 25-mile trek that could involve anywhere from 3,000 to 7,000 feet of elevation gain in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our Founder’s Challenge this year will be that for every $5,000 we raise, we will hike Raven’s Rock instead of Bear’s Den. Why this matters: Bears Den is 1.5 miles with only 700 feet of gain or loss. Raven’s Rock is a more than 5x the distance and double the elevation gain. Simply put, the more money we raise, the more miles we’ll do. If you are interested in participating in one summit, all five, or just want to join us for a few beers at the brewery (Bear Chase) after, sign up here: https://forms.gle/ohv7gzC7MzbyFcoF8
