My Story…
This year I will again be running in the Calgary (half) Marathon to help fund treatment and a cure for Parkinson's. Parkinson's is a disease that has directly impacted my family; my dad Les was diagnosed several years ago and he has lived with the symptoms of this progressive disease ever since. I want better options in treatment for my dad and I want future generations to not have to experience the impacts of this disease. Together we can cure this disease!
Do you know that every year over 11,000 Canadians are diagnosed with Parkinson's? It results from the loss of cells in the brain that produce dopamine, a chemical that controls the body’s movements. As dopamine decreases, tremors can develop, muscle movements become slower and more rigid, and reflexes become impaired contributing to a loss of balance.
Donate to help Colin raise money for Servus Calgary Marathon 2024’s fundraising campaign.
