TOMMY DELLINGER COMPLETES HIS HIKE ACROSS THE U.S. FOR PARKINSON’S RESEARCH
Former State Trooper, Tommy Dellinger, walked back into his home town of Gastonia, North Carolina on January 13, 2018 ending a grueling 4-month on-foot adventure across America to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s Disease research.
Tommy was able to take on this intense endeavor after a recent brain operation helped to stabilize his own Parkinson’s symptoms. He was diagnosed in May of 2008 at the age of 40. His struggles included tremors, stiffness, pain and eventually depression.
Tommy's a true superstar-hero in every sense. His story doesn’t end here or now. He's on track to raise $25,000 through Team Fox.
