As many of you know, i was diagnosed with Parkinson disease in 2015. It has been quite the journey so far with many ups and downs. Living well with Parkinson is the standard phrase used to help us maintain a positive focus, challenging as it may be at times. One thing that has proven to be very beneficial is exercise and in particular cycling. So, here is my next challenge:
This summer, on july 13, John and I are taking part in Pedaling for Parkinson's - a cycling event in Prince Edward County, that was created to raise awareness about Parkinson's and raise funds for research. My goal is to achieve, or better succeed modest goal of $500. I hope you will support me!

Thanks to the support of our sponsors, your donation dollars go directly towards a Pedaling for Parkinson’s Research Grant and the Parkinson Canada Research Program. 
Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disease. Movement is normally controlled by dopamine, a chemical that carries signals between the nerves in the brain. When cells that normally produce dopamine die, the symptoms of Parkinson's appear. Currently, there is no cure. The need is only increasing. More than 25 Canadians are diagnosed with Parkinson's every day; more than one person every hour. By 2031, the number of people living with Parkinson’s in Canada will more than double.  Your support fuels the increasing need for research to improve quality of life and ultimately find a cure.

With your support we can help Parkinson Canada realize their vision of a better life today for Canadians living with Parkinson's; a world without Parkinson's tomorrow.
