This weekend, a local event is spotlighting the fight to beat Parkinson's disease.

Oklahoma City's Parkinson's Walk not only promotes activity as a way to prevent Parkinson's but also significantly raises awareness and funds for Oklahoma families who have been deeply affected by Parkinson's.

Executive Director of the Oklahoma Parkinson's Alliance Bruce McIntyre and Parkinson Patient Kevin Nicolin joined News 9 on the Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages Porch to talk more about the walk.

They say the event is not only a fundraiser but an opportunity to celebrate the lives of the thousands of Oklahomans living with Parkinson’s Disease.
