The Penn State men’s Llacrosse team played in this year’s Parkinson’s Lacrosse Tournament last Saturday in Alexandria, VA. The event now in its second year, was organized by a former Princeton Lacrosse player, Christian Cook and his sister Lauren after their mother Diane was diagnosed with early stage Parkinson’s. All proceeds from the event will benefit the ProjectSparks foundation’s search for a cure. Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative disease that affects movement. In America alone there are nearly 1.5 million people currently living with some form of this debilitating disease, most notably actor Michael J. Fox and Hall of Fame boxer Muhammad Ali
