Step-Up With Love: Join the Walk for Parkinson’s in Naples on Feb. 14, 2026 
​

On Saturday, February 14, 2026, our SWFL community will come together at North Collier Regional Park in Naples for a special “Step-Up With Love – Walk for PD” event supporting the Parkinson’s Association of Southwest Florida (PASWFL). Step Up for Parkinson’s 2026 isn’t just a walk — it’s a celebration of love, community, and hope. This year, our annual walk falls on Valentine’s Day, February 14, a perfect reminder that when we come together with love, we can make life brighter for those living with Parkinson’s. 

At the Parkinson’s Association of Southwest Florida, our mission is simple yet powerful: to help people live well with Parkinson’s disease. We do this by offering free programs that support mind, body, and spirit — from exercise and movement classes to support groups, educational workshops, and social connections. These programs bring comfort, empowerment, and joy to individuals and families facing the challenges of Parkinson’s. 
​

When you Step Up for Parkinson’s, you’re walking for more than awareness — you’re walking to ensure that your neighbors, friends, and loved ones in our community have the resources they need to live better every single day. 
This Valentine’s Day, we invite you to walk with heart. Form a team, support a team, or make a donation that will keep our programs free and accessible for everyone who needs them. Together, our steps create strength. Together, our love creates a lasting impact. ​
