Some people walked as part of a team, others walked solo.

Eyewitness News anchor Michelle Charlesworth provided inspiration to people before they kicked off the 1.4-mile trek.

"Thank you for making the effort to get back out here to support one another. This is a real Parkinson's family. 100 percent of the money given today through June goes straight to fighting Parkinson's," said Charlesworth.
