[MUSIC PLAYING]

2
00:00:01,530 --> 00:00:05,169
It never rains on Pancakes
for Parkinson's Day.

3
00:00:05,169 --> 00:00:07,210
We're at Pancakes for
Parkinson's, and we're here

4
00:00:07,210 --> 00:00:09,100
to get people to
eat free pancakes,

5
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:10,570
and raising donations
and awareness

6
00:00:10,570 --> 00:00:12,730
for Parkinson's disease.

7
00:00:12,730 --> 00:00:14,110
Thousands of students out here--

8
00:00:14,110 --> 00:00:14,610
Yeah.

9
00:00:14,610 --> 00:00:16,370
--coming to support
a good cause.

10
00:00:16,370 --> 00:00:18,700
I do have Parkinson's,
and I enjoy this.

11
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:20,870
Being a fellow Wahoo,
it's a wonderful event

12
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:22,700
and it grows every year.

13
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:25,120
Last year we raised
$65,000, and this year we're

14
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,740
hoping to raise over $70,000.

15
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:27,970
That's our goal.

16
00:00:27,970 --> 00:00:30,460
We have over 300 people
volunteering today.

17
00:00:30,460 --> 00:00:32,510
One of my good friend's
dad has Parkinson's,

18
00:00:32,510 --> 00:00:34,510
so it's been kind of cool
to volunteer and raise

19
00:00:34,510 --> 00:00:36,510
money for someone who's
really close to me.

20
00:00:36,510 --> 00:00:38,740
It definitely brings
together a lot of people.

21
00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:41,870
I think that it speaks
to the character of UVA.

22
00:00:41,870 --> 00:00:44,590
We have wonderful students
putting this program

23
00:00:44,590 --> 00:00:45,700
together every year.

24
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:47,420
I have students that
come back every year

25
00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:49,080
to say hello, alumni.

26
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,640
And it's just an enjoyable event
where you can have pancakes,

27
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,264
and a community joins
together to learn

28
00:00:53,264 --> 00:00:55,210
what Parkinson's disease is.

29
00:00:55,210 --> 00:00:57,550
It's cool to think that
Parkinson's might not

30
00:00:57,550 --> 00:00:59,742
be here in 10 or 20 years.

31
00:00:59,742 --> 00:01:01,450
Anything that we can
do as a student body

32
00:01:01,450 --> 00:01:04,990
to achieve that
goal is worth it.

33
00:01:04,990 --> 00:01:09,752
