2025 Missouri Optimism Walks Recap Join our CommunityResources & SupportWays To GiveEventsAbout APDA Missouri The APDA Missouri Chapter is thrilled to celebrate the incredible impact of our two Optimism Walks this year in Troy, IL and Chesterfield, MO. The Missouri Optimism Walks were unforgettable days of community, movement, and hope, all in support of the Parkinson’s disease community. Walkers, teams, sponsors, and volunteers came together to raise vital funds that keep APDA Missouri’s free Parkinson’s programs and services thriving. In Troy, IL the community came together and surpassed their fundraising goal, bringing in $25,204.54, which will directly fuel FREE local programs, services, and support for our central and southern Illinois communities.
