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.

Brian was diagnosed in 2023 with Parkinson's Disease. He has been very brave and does not let this get the better of him. He has retired but still volunteers at the Wellington Square United Church in Burlington where he worked as a custodian. He became involved, while working at the church, with the Meal Bag Program during covid and the Friday Hub Lunch program. The meal programs help feed people who were isolated during covid or found themselves in need of help. The Friday Hub Lunch is where people can come and enjoy a healthy meal and receive needed items and good company with friends. Brian volunteers 2 days a week and enjoys the Friday meal with his friends he has made at the church. Brian also enjoys time with his family and friends. He loves to go to hockey games and lacrosse games. Come out on Sunday September 8th and help Brian's Team raise money for the awareness of Parkinson's Disease.

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.

Your donation ensures that a full, vibrant life is still possible for over 100,000 Canadians living with Parkinson's.
