On Saturday, April 26, 2025, the National Spasmodic Torticollis Association (NSTA) and Parkinson’s and Movement Disorder Foundation (PMDF) partnered up to raise funding by hosting the MOVE4U 5K Walk/Run Fundraiser at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley, California.

The morning started out overcast, and the weather forecast predicted rain. This caused a decent number of people who registered for the event to stay home, but a good number of people showed up. Over 40 people came eager to participate, enjoy the morning with us, and support both organizations. 

Our first, second, and third place winners of the 5K are as follows:

1st Place             Nicolas Spector

2nd Place            Russell Yu

3rd Place             Richard Zarazua

We thank Supernus Pharmaceuticals, our Diamond Level Sponsor, Amneal Pharmaceuticals, and Merz Therapeutics, our Gold Level Sponsors. A heartfelt thanks to Katella Deli for the delicious lunch and to Recover Sports Hydration 180 for energizing our participants with their fantastic sports drink! 

We would like to extend our gratitude to Dr. Daniel Truong and Dr. Kong Truong of the Truong Neuroscience Institute for their participation and support of the event. We also want to thank everyone who signed up for this event, as well as the volunteers who came to help. Your positive energy and enthusiasm contributed to the event’s success, despite the pouring rain. Thank you all from everyone at the NSTA and PMDF.
