I'm walking in the Parkinson Canada SuperWalk in support of my Dad, Scott, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's this past year.
I hope 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.
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.
