I'm walking in the Parkinson Canada SuperWalk to raise money for Parkinson Canada which will 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 a disease that affects not only individuals but also families, friends and care partners who come together to manage the realities of Parkinson's
I walk to support and raise funds for this very important organization because without them I would not have the support I need. I, in turn help others by running a support group with the aid of Parkinson's Canada.
This year my brother will be turning 70 and he has now been in long term care for 9 years. I walk with others who share a common bond. We are like a family learning and navigating a very difficult and unpredictable disease unlike any other. I hope you will support me in this cause to increase awareness, and raise funds to help the ongoing support and research.
Thank you
Sincerely,
Lynn
