Wilfrid Laurier University’s Sun Life Financial MDRC is Canada’s first movement disorders centre to directly support individuals with Parkinson’s disease through researching, developing and evaluating new exercise rehabilitation programs. Over 100,000 Canadians are affected by Parkinson’s disease lacking the ability to run and perform daily functions. The centre supports 800 patients each year.

Please consider supporting the Sun Life Financial MDRC by collecting pledges or making a donation to the 8th Annual Laurier Loop. All pledges will be matched by an anonymous Laurier alumnus who is also a proud donor to the Sun Life Financial MDRC.

Your support is vital in ensuring that the Centre continues to provide support for hundreds of individuals in the KW community and around the world.
