The Drive Against Parkinson's!
We took my 1967 Newport Convertible, a survivor car, went 2926 miles over 6 days through 13 states as a fund raiser for the Dave Parker39 Foundation on a Newport to Newport road trip.
We went from Newport KY to Newport RI with stops in: Newport PA. Newport RI;Newport DE;Newport News VA and Newport TE. The car ran great the whole way!
GoFundMe page is still up and you can still donate if you wish. Go to: https://www.gofundme.com/the-drive-against-parkinson039s
We saw Jay Leno's 13.5 Million mansion in Newport RI and stopped at F40 Motors in Portland Ct and met Wayne Carini , of Chasing Classic Cars. Stopped in Norfolk VA but Fantom Works was shooting that day and we couldn't meet Dan Short.
Looking for sponsors for the west coast leg next spring- Newport Ky to Newport Beach CA. plus other Newports along the way. If you would like to sponsor or recommend someone, contact me through the Dave Parker39 Foundation FB page, or the contact page at www.daveparker39foundation.com (pictures of the trip there also).Doug King

The Mission of the Dave Parker39 Foundation is educate the public about Parkinson’s Disease, provide help and information to patients and care givers and help fund research for a cure!
Dave, he is a 19 yr. MLB alum, who developed Parkinson’s a few years ago. Our foundation is focused on providing education for folks with Parkinson’s, and especially their caregivers.
As the event coordinator for the Dave Parker39 Foundation , I'm always looking for ways to help expand our reach and increase funds to better fulfill our Mission. When my adult son said to me and a buddy, "You should take the Newport, from Newport to Newport", we knew it was a terrific fund raising idea! With your help we can bring our story to folks through out the country!
All proceeds are used in fulfillment of our Mission. No officers, directors or others receive a salary or income from funds raised. We have limited administrative costs, such as printing, postage, etc that are incurred in the performance of our Mission, providing education about PD for patients and caregivers. The rest goes to research for a cure. Check out our Guide Star rating at: www.guidestar.org or https://www.guidestar.org/profile/46-4058823 and see what we do at www.daveparker39foundation.com.
Donate as little or as much as you like and know that 100% of the funds received by the Dave Parker39 Foundation will go to the fight against Parkinson's Disease!
This trip will be about 2500 miles and will include stops in Newport PA, Newport DE., Newport News VA. Newport NC, and Newport TE., before returning to Newport KY. You can follow us on FB, Twitter and Snap Chat.
Any questions or wish to support us and our trip in any other way, (Gas cards, Hotel accommodations, personal appearances along the way, other ideas?) contact Doug King , Event Coordinator, The Dave Parker39 Foundation. [email protected] or 513-702-2910.
