This September, families, friends and volunteers across the country will come together to show that nothing stands in Canada\u2019s way as we walk together on the path to a world without Parkinson\u2019s – No Matter What.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The movement has grown over several decades to more than 80 locations<\/a> and thousands of participants. That\u2019s why Parkinson Canada has developed a new video message<\/a> tied to this year\u2019s campaign featuring the different faces of people living with Parkinson\u2019s expressing their unwavering support for the cause, the organization, and each other.<\/p>\n

One example of that unwavering commitment is in Mike Zegers<\/strong>, who is featured in the No Matter What<\/strong> video. Mike, who recently joined the Parkinson Canada Board of Directors, walks in memory of his father and has been leading one of the top fundraising teams at the Markham, Ontario walk location for years. Like many, Mike is relentless in his pursuit of a better life for Canadians living with Parkinson\u2019s today and a world without Parkinson\u2019s tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cOne of my father\u2019s great wishes was that future generations, including his children and grandchildren, would live to see a cure \u2013 and not face the debilitating consequences of the disease, as he did,\u201d he says. \u201cContributing to Parkinson Canada through SuperWalk is my attempt to help turn that wish into a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvents like Parkinson Canada SuperWalk enable us to deliver much needed services within the community and fund research into improved treatments and one day, a cure,\u201d says Jon Collins<\/strong>, Associate Director Events and Partnerships, Parkinson Canada. \u201cAnd this event is very inspiring to those in our community. While Parkinson\u2019s comes with good days and bad, we know so many people living with this incurable disease whose perseverance is a point of pride in the face of symptoms. When we rally together at SuperWalk, we show that No Matter What<\/strong> tomorrow may bring, we will not stop until there is a cure for Parkinson\u2019s,\u201d says Collins.<\/p>\n

Parkinson\u2019s affects over 100,000 Canadians, and will increase substantially in the coming years, with more than 25 Canadians diagnosed each day.<\/strong> That means that every hour, of every day, another Canadian hears the words: \u201cYou have Parkinson\u2019s disease.\u201d For people newly diagnosed, SuperWalk is a great opportunity to meet others living with the disease, their families, and to build a supportive network. Continued support will accelerate to fund research to find a cure. Since 1981, the generosity of donors like SuperWalk supporters, has enabled Parkinson Canada to invest close to $29 million in 552 research projects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are multiplying our efforts to help find treatments, find a cure, and support individuals and families so that they can live well with Parkinson\u2019s,\u201d says Joyce Gordon<\/strong>, CEO, Parkinson Canada. \u201cFor these individuals, a cure can\u2019t wait.\u201d <\/p>\n
