Bay Ridge resident runs for Parkinson’s cure
Shelton Hollers is a perfectly healthy 33-year-old man, but he thinks a lot about those suffering from Parkinson’s disease and other debilitating illnesses. In fact, he’s on the run to find a cure for Parkinson’s.
Hollers, a sales director for an event management business, is one of hundreds of people taking part in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Brooklyn 10K, a charity race set to take place in Prospect Park on October 12. Sponsored by the Parkinson’s disease Foundation (PDF), the goal of the race is to raise money for research into a cure for the disease.
Hollers, who lives in Bay Ridge and has a passion for running, said he decided to add a charity component to his exercise to make it more meaningful.
