Dear friends, family, and colleagues,
On January 1st, 2021 I set an ambitious goal to walk 2,000 kilometers by my 80th birthday.
Inspired by my friend Jacques Gerin, who is a long-time fundraiser and advocate for Parkinson's Disease, I have chosen to complement his efforts with a walk of my own benefiting Parkinson Canada. My walk is currently in progress and I plan to reach my goal on my 80th birthday, January 1st, 2022.
PD is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world. More than 100,000 Canadians are diagnosed with PD and that number is expected to more than double by 2031. The need to increase support services, education, advocacy, and research is critical.
This is why I’m asking for your support today.
Please join me in celebrating my 80th birthday walk by showing your support.

Every dollar means new hope. Thank you!
Rob
