Today we pause to reflect — honoring the rich history and resilience of Indigenous peoples while recognizing this day's place in our shared story.

If you're required to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA each year, here's something worth knowing: a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can count toward that RMD.

That means you can meet your IRA withdrawal requirement and support InMotion's free programs for people living with Parkinson's disease — without adding to your taxable income.

Today marks the Week #7 of InMotion's offsite Falls Prevention programming collaboration with Neighborhood Family Practice in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood in Cleveland!

Thanks to the support of the Mt. Sinai Health Foundation, this collaboration is a first of its kind for InMotion, with two goals: continue advancing our Falls Prevention Program, and build a presence on Cleveland's west side. Seven weeks in, we're seeing steady growth in participation from people with Parkinson's disease and their care partners — proof that this community has been ready for these services.

At InMotion, about 80% of our support comes from individuals - people like you, who understand how important our programs are to people with Parkinson's disease. Many of those individuals choose to give to InMotion directly from their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA).

Here's why that's smart: if you're 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) lets you give directly from your IRA to InMotion — and because the funds go straight from your account to ours, that gift isn't counted as taxable income to you. It's one of the most tax-efficient ways to give, especially if you don't itemize deductions.

🎨 It's official! On Thursday, September 17, we proudly cut the ribbon on the Gabe & Nicki Adler Art Space at InMotion® — and nearly 50 members of our community joined us to celebrate.

Thank you to Joel Salon, Emeritus Board Member, for sharing remarks, and to Gabe and Nicki Adler for the honor of celebrating with them as we dedicated this space in their name.

This room is now a true home for creativity, connection, and healing arts at InMotion — and it wouldn't exist without our community. Thank you to the donors to the Gabe Adler Building Fund for making this room possible, and to our Art Space Fundraiser donors for helping us furnish it.

📸 A special thank you to Care Partner Brian Ruppel for capturing these beautiful photos of the day.

We can't wait to share more of the art created in this special space. 💙

Despite the rain, Saturday's Cleveland Clinic Empower U at the John S. Knight Center in Akron drew an excellent crowd! 🌧️💙

Our Events & Outreach Coordinator, Sheila McCarthy, represented InMotion at the event, talking with people with Parkinson's who could benefit from our classes, whether in person or remotely. Some traveled from as far as Erie, PA and Buffalo, NY. We also saw at least a dozen of our current clients, who came to learn more ways to manage their disease and discover additional resources.

InMotion coach Amy Larocca was there too, representing her own practice, Polaris Speech and Neurological Rehabilitation. All day, we sent visitors back and forth between our tables.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by. We're already looking forward to next year!
