As you may be aware, for the past number of years I have been participating in a fundraising golf tournament which raises money for Parkinson Canada --- an organization which provides support to people living with Parkinsons.
This is the 6th year of team “Golfing for Glenn” – which was started in support of Glenn Nickerson (my Dad) who was diagnosed with PD a number of years ago. Unfortunately, Dad passed away shortly after the 2019 fundraising tournament (at the age of 63), so again this year we are golfing in memory of Glenn. It is definitely a tough disease to see in a person, which is why it is important to use to raise money to help those who have PD.
Myself (Glenn's son Jeremy) and Jeriah (Glenn's grandson) along with a couple of close friends (Peter Dyck and Marcus Enns) are taking part in the tournament at Bridges Golf Course on Thursday, June 8th, 2023.
Our team "Golfing for Glenn" raised $1620 in 2017, $3235 in 2018, $5050 in 2019, $6070 in 2020 and $6090 in 2022 for a total of almost $22,000!!
Our goal this year is to surpass the $5K mark in funds raised once again (and secretly I'd love to see our team bring in $7500!!).
We appreciate whatever amount you are able to donate. Please consider helping us reach our goal, and ensure it is linked to "Golfing for Glenn".
This inclusive, family-friendly tournament raises money to support people living with Parkinson's, and I am competing with other golfers and teams to raise the most!
Help me ensure Parkinson Canada is there for Canadians living with Parkinson’s today – while funding research into better treatments and one day, a cure.
