But we can\u2019t do it without the hard work and dedication of people in the community. People like Eugene Shershnev.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Eugene arrived in 1995 with his sister, mother and stepfather from Europe. They came to call Canada home and built a new life in their adopted country. Seven years after arriving, their lives were disrupted when Larisa Bachinska, his mother, received her Parkinson\u2019s diagnosis. A few years after that, she received a cancer diagnosis, which made things even harder.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Eugene, his sister, Margarita, and his stepfather, Valery, supported Larisa, taking turns to visit her and provide her with companionship and care. They were very diligent with their research, ensuring she received the latest treatments and voraciously consuming research related to Parkinson\u2019s.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Unfortunately, Larisa passed away on January 1<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">st<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, 2022.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Since then, Eugene has become increasingly active in the Parkinson\u2019s community, both at events and in his desire to raise awareness. Eugene is an avid cyclist and has participated in several Pedaling for Parkinson\u2019s events across Ontario, including in Orangeville and Prince Edward County, as well as the Parkinson Canada Superwalk.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Eugene believes that participating in these events helps to honour the loved ones we have lost to Parkinson\u2019s. Events raise awareness about the disease, and the funding they generate is invaluable in our search for new treatments. He also finds it an excellent outlet for care partners, feeling a sense of solidarity and companionship with others who understand his situation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Everyone copes with Parkinson\u2019s and the loss of a loved one in their own way. Many care partners have found that attending these events and staying active in the community is a therapeutic experience that gives a sense of optimism and hope. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Eugene is a strong believer in both the cause and the people, and plans to continue attending these events going forward. He recommends other care partners and people living with Parkinson\u2019s to try it for themselves and see. In Eugene\u2019s own words, \u201cI met so many nice, good people both on the Parkinson Canada organizer side and the participant side. I would still like to fundraise as much as I can for this cause\u2026my plan is to participate as much as possible.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Learn more about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\/superwalk\/about-superwalk\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Parkinson Canada Superwalk<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gothedistance.ca\/event\/go-the-distance\/home\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Pedaling for Parkinson\u2019s.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Events such as Pedaling for Parkinson\u2019s and Parkinson Superwalk are an exceptional way to stay active in the community and &#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\/fr\/how-staying-active-with-parkinsons-events-is-invaluable-for-care-partners\/\" class=\"more-link\">En savoir plus<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":82,"featured_media":40008,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[237,248],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How staying active with Parkinson\u2019s events is invaluable for care partners - Parkinson Canada<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_FR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How staying active with Parkinson\u2019s events is invaluable for care partners - Parkinson Canada\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Events such as Pedaling for Parkinson\u2019s and Parkinson Superwalk are an exceptional way to stay active in the community and ...
