What is Pump It for Parkinson's?
The National Institute for Fitness and Sport in partnership with NuStep hosts an annual event nationwide in senior living communities to help raise awareness on the benefits of exercise for individuals living with Parkinson's Disease. This annual event is held during Parkinson's Disease Awareness month to help provide education and awareness of the disease. In 2025, NIFS is striving for 25,000,000 steps worldwide and striving to raise $25,000 for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for research with Team Fox. Learn more...
