My dad Chris Paterson began walking doing the SuperWalk!
with his family and friends over 20 years ago. He loved participating in
the walk, even in his wheelchair. Dad passed away almost exactly 9
years ago. All of you faithful supporters loved him in your own way. Team
Paterson and Friends thanks you for remembering him, and for supporting
this great cause.
I'm walking the Parkinson Canada SuperWalk to raise money for
Parkinson Canada, whose mission is to transform the lives of people
living with Parkinson's. Parkinson Canada funds critical research,
provides information and support, increases awareness and advocates for
improved health care outcomes for people living with Parkinson's across
Canada.
This September, Patersons and Friends is joining everyday heroes from communities across Canada as part of the Parkinson Canada SuperWalk.
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.
