ABOUT ME

My name is Samantha Felder (Barbian) and my parents are Craig and Darlene Barbian.  When I was 17 years old I came home one day from school and told my parents that my hand started shaking during math class that day and thatI could not figure out what was going on. After a while, my parents took me to the doctor who told me I was hypoglycemic and I should eat more and it will go away. 


In November of 2011 I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the age of 21.  I decided after my diagnosis that I wanted to help others in the Parkinson's community and so Sams' GDPD Open and Punt Parkinson's with the Pack was born.  To date we have raised over $50000 for the Wisconsin Parkinson Association.

Dear Mom and Dad,

Thank you for all of your hard work that you have put into making this fundraiser a success.  I seriously could not have done it without you.  With me now living in Florida during the planning process I am even more thankful for you.
