Rudy's Run for Parkinson's

Rudy's Run for Parkinson Canada is happening in August 2022! This will be our 4th Rudy's Run and we are very excited to be back in person. Our first 3 events raised $190,000 for research towards a cure for Parkinson's disease. 

Your donations in 2020 funded Dr. Philippe Huot, Assistant Professor at McGill University's novel approach for the treatment of motor disability in Parkinson's disease. Click here for more information.

Rudy's Run has also funded research by Dr. Yogitha Thattikota of the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University. Dr. Thattikota has been researching finding the right proteins to stop Parkinson's disease. Click here for more information.   

Rudy, and his family and friends, will be at Voyageur Park in Pointe Claire on Sunday, August 7th, 2022 to run or walk around the track. Rudy says that he's planning on running (even though Parkinson's has slowed him these past couple of years - it will be 14 years this August since Rudy's diagnosis). Please join us on the 7th if you can. If you can't make it, please click on the link below to help support our fundraising effort. 

Thank you from Rudy, Artemis, and the Erfle family. 

Come for a little or stay for the whole event. You'll love Rudy's Run. You get a little exercise going around the track, plus all family, children, and dogs are welcome! There is even a "Kid's Run" for the little ones. We have lots of yummy free food and drinks for you, and there will be live music to enjoy. There is lots of free parking and nice clean facilities in the chalet.
