The Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center’s Community Outreach Program is one of the most robust in the country. Through a broad range of services, we aim to help patients, and their families navigate the everyday challenges of Parkinson’s disease. We offer these services regardless of a patient’s ability to pay or where they receive their medical care. 

The annual Walk The Fight & Run The Distance is our signature fundraiser event and the largest gathering of Parkinson’s patients, families, and friends in Arizona. 100% of the net proceeds raised through the walk help support community-based exercise, recreational, and educational programs offered at the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at Barrow Neurological Institute. 

The event offers a two-block fun walk, a 4K (2.8-mile) walk, a 5K (3.2-mile) timed run and interactive activation areas such as a Resource Fair, Pet Park, Kids Zone, Photo Booth and Poster Table to cheer-on and encourage participants.
