HOLE IN ONE! TAKING A SWING FOR THE PD COMMUNITY

 

That’s no bogey for Joseph “Jay” Scott ― he’s scoring on par for the PD community! Jay (shown above, on the right) took to the green this summer to raise funds for APDA by playing seven golf courses in seven states — all in one day! This huge effort was in honor of two of his uncles who are both living with PD. Starting at nearly 5:30 a.m., he and his golfing partner Mike began their golfing spree, which spanned Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia before finishing up in Alabama. They played in the rain and even in the dark!

By the time they arrived at their final course, it was 9 p.m. — and the only light they had to play by was the light of their cellphones.

“The course was soaking wet, and the mosquitoes were almost unbearable, but we pushed through and finished the nine holes around 11 p.m.,” says Jay. “We actually shot in the 40s, in the dark, and we counted every lost ball and every stroke.” 

After finishing this 18-hour golf marathon, Jay is thankful to everyone who donated and helped make his journey possible along the way.

We’re grateful for supporters like Jay — and you — who allow APDA to keep driving progress for the PD community. But you don’t have to hit the putting green to make a difference!
