VIRGINIA BEACH
APRIL 11th
Whether you attend tomorrow’s Symposium and love it or if you miss it and regret it, there are a few more opportunities to learn more or help raise funds.APDS HAMPTON ROADS CHAPTER is sponsoring the Boardwalk Stroll and Roll, a 9 block “amble” along the Boardwalk for walker sand people with assistive devices. Ahhh…just imagine. This year, they’ve added a 10 mile bike ride from First Landing State Park ending at Neptune Park. There will be an education pavilion, stage events and music. Activities end at 1 pm, leaving you at the beach on a spring afternoon. For more information, go to their website at www.hrparkinsons.com .
