I am Pedaling 1000km for Parkinson's!
My very vibrant and energetic Mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's 5 years ago. It was a devastating diagnosis, however, she has never let it get her down. She is committed & determined to doing everything she can to remain healthy & active. She exercises everyday and knows that is the best way to manage Parkinson's. She is the most positive & strongest women I have ever known and I Love her dearly XO
This summer I have decided to take part in Pedaling 1000 km for Parkinson's - a cycling event that was created to raise awareness about Parkinson's and raise funds for research. Your donations support the Pedaling for Parkinson’s Research Grant and the Parkinson Canada Research Program.
As part of the event, I’ve set a personal distance goal of 1000 km and am tracking my kilometers.
Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disease. Movement is normally controlled by dopamine, a chemical that carries signals between the nerves in the brain. When cells that normally produce dopamine die, the symptoms of Parkinson's appear. Currently, there is no cure. The need is only increasing. More than 25 Canadians are diagnosed with Parkinson's every day; more than one person every hour. By 2031, the number of people living with Parkinson’s in Canada will more than double. Your support fuels the increasing need for research to improve quality of life and ultimately find a cure.
With your support we can help Parkinson Canada realize their vision of a better life today for Canadians living with Parkinson's; a world without Parkinson's tomorrow.
