At 84 Dorothy Brunker likes to brag about being the Iron Girl over 80 though diagnosed with Parkinson’s two years ago.

“It has slowed me down,” said Brunker. “But I haven’t quit! I’ve always been active as I hiked the Grand Canyon for my 65th birthday. It was after that when I decided to walk in the many charity events. For my 75th birthday I went to Dublin, Ireland as a member of Team “D” (Diabetes) and walked a full marathon. What an awesome time I had and received a check from the Bank of Ireland for placing 3rd in my age group.” Two years ago she broke her hip in a fall and that is when the doctors diagnosed her Parkinson’s.
