Indiana Parkinson Foundation Receives $20K Grant and Hires Program

Director

Indianapolis, IN, February 16, 2020 --(PR.com)-- The Indiana Parkinson Foundation (IPF) has received a
grant for $20,800 from the Central Indiana Senior Fund. The grant was given to allow IPF to expand its
reach to more than 50-75 more individuals living with Parkinson's disease.

With the grant, IPF was able to hire a new Program Director, Addie Cunningham, to help with IPF's
planned expansion. Addie will be the liaison for all the current CLIMB locations and will help to expand
The CLIMB locations to more areas in need. The CLIMB exercise program allows opportunity for
physical recovery and prevention, and leaves room for reflection and connection to renew people with
Parkinson's disease for the work and pressures of their daily lives.

"The Indiana Parkinson Foundation is bridging a gap for those diagnosed and facing the unknown. With
the support of programs and services specific to Parkinson Disease, the journey becomes an easier one.
IPF's programs not only provide connections, but also a community of hope," shared Kim Williams, IPF
Director.

In 2009, after a hard diagnosis, the Waterman family began the Indiana Parkinson Foundation (IPF) to
help come along side those with Parkinson's disease. Addie (Waterman) Cunningham is a co-founder of
IPF and the new Program Director for the foundation. Addie has received her Bachelor of Science in
Business Management and Master of Business Administration from Taylor University. She has been
married to her husband, Eric for almost 14 years and they have 5 beautiful daughters. Addie and her
family are members at White River Christian Church and enjoy serving in the youth ministry. Addie is
looking forward to the opportunity to serve people with Parkinson's through the Program Director role.
