Early Bird Draw

Congratulations to Mike Zegers of Toronto, walking in Markham, on winning our 2016 Early Bird draw. Mike shares his reasons to participate below:

Parkinson SuperWalk is an opportunity for me, my family and friends to remember my father, Marinus Zegers, who courageously battled with Parkinson's disease for more than 15 years. One of my father's great wishes was that future generations, including his children and grand-children, would live to see a cure and not face the debilitating consequences of the disease as he did. Contributing to Parkinson Canada through SuperWalk is my attempt to help turn that wish into a reality. Parkinson SuperWalk brings awareness to the disease, raises funds to support people living with Parkinson's and funds initiatives that are working towards better medication/treatment and ultimately, a cure. Participating in Parkinson SuperWalk has allowed me to connect with others who have Parkinson's or are affected by the disease, share my awareness and experience with others, support the initiatives of Parkinson Canada and to further cherish the memory of my Dad.

Prize details: Register early (by May 31) and make a personal donation to be eligible for our

Super Friendraiser Draw

Congratulations to Lorne Collis of Brampton on winning our 2016 Super Friendraiser Draw. Lorne share's why he values the tool below:

Like most people, I am not comfortable asking for money. It is probably the fear of rejection. The SuperWalk Participant Centre allows me to solicit from many friends and colleagues at the same time. And rejection is painless for me and for them. Since 2008, I have raised almost $25,000 for SuperWalk using this wonderful tool.

Prize details: Register online for Parkinson SuperWalk and keep sending out emails through the Participant Centre! For every 25 email addresses you send an email to through the Participant Centre, you will receive one ballot for a chance to win a $500 Roots Gift Card.
