My Story…

Thank you for helping me raise valuable funds and awareness for Parkinson Canada in honour of my dad, Kevin!

Description

I'm fundraising 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.

More than 110,000 Canadians live with Parkinson's, a number expected to increase substantially in the coming years.

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.

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 110,000 Canadians living with Parkinson's.
