Many of you know that Brian and I are living with Parkinson's and you have seen the struggle that this horrible disease can cause. Performing common tasks that most of us take for granted can be a challenge; which worsens as the disease progresses. Medication can help treat symptoms, but there currently is no cure. Brian is just one of millions for people around the world living with this progressive neurodegenerative disease. By 2031, the number of people living with Parkinson’s is expected to double.

While there is no cure, over the years we have come to realize that there are supports in the community that can help us ease the burden. The Parkinson Society Southwestern Ontario provides much needed programs services, advocacy and research initiatives to build and spread awareness, care and support for everyone living with Parkinson’s Disease in Southwestern Ontario. We would be grateful if you'd consider supporting this organization that helps ease the burden for so many in our community.

Please support me as I WALK THE BLOCK for Parkinson’s this September.  My plan is to walk 10km. over the week. And hopefully have Brian join me for part of that on his scooter.  Your donation will stay local and help make a difference to more than 10,000 people living with Parkinson’s in our area.
