After a great deal of thought as to whether to do so or not this year, once again I am participating in the Parkinson Canada SuperWalk in memory of my mother, who passed away in 2004 after having lived with Parkinson's Disease for over 10 years.

This is obviously a very different year for everything. While walkers won't be gathering together here in Kingston this year, I do plan to do a loop walk in my neighbourhood.

I also understand that disposable income may be a totally different thing for you this year and we must all choose wisely when, or if, we are able to make contributions. If you are unable to donate this year, I totally understand.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to collect cash or cheques this year so please make your donations online. Tax receipts will be provided for all online donations of $20 or more. 

Canadians who take part Parkinson SuperWalk raise funds for education and support services, not only for people with Parkinson's, but also for their caregivers and family members too in communities across Canada. This annual event also raises funds for research into the causes of Parkinson's, better treatments and one day, a cure.  Every dollar means new hope. Thank you!
