Hello! I am volunteering with Parkinson Canada and participating in this year's Ottawa SuperWalk on September 7. SuperWalk is the largest annual fundraiser for Parkinson Canada, with walks happening all across Canada.

I am raising money to help fuel research, support tools, and advocacy for people living with Parkinson's, such as my Dad.

Parkinson's is the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world. It is a lifelong, incurable brain disease that occurs when brain cells involved in mobility and coordination are dying. As a progressive disease, symptoms slowly worsen, and new ones develop over time. While Parkinson's is typically known for its movement-related symptoms like tremors and difficulty with mobility, non-movement symptoms such as anxiety and depression, sleep issues, thinking problems, and sometimes even dementia can also occur. With your support, we can help improve the quality of life for people living with Parkinson's disease as well as finding a cure.

P.S. I am helping organize Sponsorships and the Silent Auction - if you or someone you know might be interested in getting more involved, please reach out!
