I'm walking in the Parkinson Canada SuperWalk to raise money for Parkinson Canada. 

In 2019 I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Without the research that has been conducted so far, those who have been stricken would be suffering the effects of this disease far worse than they are. This research comes at a cost that is in part funded through the monies raised on the annual superwalk 

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 a disease that affects not only individuals but also families, friends and care partners who come together to manage the realities of Parkinson's.

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.

With your donation, we can help people with Parkinson's live a better life today and work toward a world without Parkinson's tomorrow.
