Hello to my
It's been 3 years in June since I had deep brain stimulation .My tremors that prevented me from doing simple tasks like reading, cutting my food , pouring a glass of water, and buttoning a shirt. Simple tasks for some but were hard for me. I’m back doing all those things . Parkinsons Research, education, donations all fuel possibilities. My quality of life has increased , research is vital in this disease.
I"m like everyone else , as I age some tasks are slower but with Parkinson's some non motor skills are changing and adding to more risks , such as falling.
Please donate what you can, but your support means more.

This September, I’m joining everyday heroes from communities across Canada as part of Parkinson Canada SuperWalk.
We’re not sure what that event will look like, one thing I am certain of is that Parkinson’s is still an important cause and that families impacted by Parkinson’s still benefit from support, education, advocacy and guidance on how to navigate it, and research to one day prevent it. My walk and your donation support these important goals.
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 donation fuels better health outcomes for Canadians living with Parkinson's today, and it supports the Parkinson Canada Research Program which works with Canada's brightest researchers to find the next big breakthroughs in treatment. This is why I'm asking for your support today.
Help me ensure Parkinson Canada is there for Canadians living with Parkinson’s today – while funding research into better treatments and one day, a cure.
