My Story…

Dear Family and Friends,

I hope this message finds you well. On October 19th, I have participated in a 5K run in memory of my beloved father, who courageously battled Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a deficiency in dopamine production, affecting various parts of the body and, unfortunately, there is currently no cure. Without proper medication and exercise, the life span and quality of life of Parkinson’s patients can be significantly diminished.

That’s why I’ve partnered with the World Parkinson's Program (WPP)—an incredible organization that provides free medications to underprivileged Parkinson’s patients who lack access to Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) and Trillium coverage here in Canada. WPP's efforts reach far beyond Canada, providing support in 17 other countries as well. With over 500 registered patients in WPP's free medicine program globally, and the numbers steadily growing, this cause is more important than ever. In addition to medication, WPP also provides free educational materials in 22 different languages and offers assistive devices to those in need.

Fundraising still open, I would be honored if you could support me in reaching my fundraising goal. Your generous donations will go a long way in supporting this mission and helping those affected by Parkinson’s lead better lives.

Thank you in advance for your support. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference in the fight against Parkinson's.

With gratitude,

Nadeem Hussain
