Parkinson's has hit my family in too many ways, I want to be a part of the fundraising efforts and be able to say "I made a difference". This year I am riding with friends and family to demonstrate that we CAN make a difference, no matter how small.
Help me raise money for Parkinson Canada, let's empower the Parkinson's community through tailored support, innovative research and raising the voice of all those impacted by Parkinson's.
More than 100,000 Canadians live with Parkinson's, a number expected to increase substantially in the coming years, with 30 Canadians diagnosed each day.
Parkinson's is the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world. In the brain, nerves exchange signals through dopamine, a chemical that controls movement. Parkinson's symptoms occur when cells that produce dopamine die. Currently, there is no cure, and the need is only increasing. By 2031, the number of people living with Parkinson's in Canada will more than double. The support you provide makes a positive impact: improving the quality of life for people living with Parkinson's disease as well as finding a cure.
Your donation ensures that a full, vibrant life is still possible for over 100,000 Canadians living with Parkinson's.
