More than 100,000 Canadians are living with Parkinson\u2019s and incredibly, that number continues to rise every day. Parkinson\u2019s is a lifelong, incurable brain disease and no two journeys are alike.<\/p>\n

The reality for people who face a Parkinson\u2019s diagnosis is that many aspects of their lives will be disrupted, including relationships, work, sleep, activity, mental health and more. Parkinson\u2019s not only impacts individuals, but also families, friends and care partners who come together to help manage the realities of the disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cParkinson\u2019s is on the rise globally, with Canada experiencing among the highest rates of prevalence,\u201d says Karen Lee, PhD, president and CEO, Parkinson Canada. \u201cIn response to the realities of this complex disease, at Parkinson Canada, we strive to inspire and empower people living with Parkinson\u2019s to thrive through tailored programs, innovative research and raising the voice of Canadians impacted by Parkinson\u2019s through our advocacy efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each year, the month of April is dedicated to bringing awareness to Parkinson\u2019s around the world and Parkinson Canada wants Canadians to know that, despite the challenges that can come with each stage of the journey, life with Parkinson\u2019s is still possible.
\nDuring Parkinson\u2019s Awareness Month, Parkinson Canada will be increasing their efforts to highlight the stories of Canadians living with Parkinson\u2019s and their care partners, through digital and traditional media, working with elected officials to bring awareness to the far-reaching effects of Parkinson\u2019s and the barriers faced to accessing care and available to support Canadians through local programs and services.<\/p>\n

Parkinson Canada encourages Canadians to help raise awareness by following us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn, or visiting parkinson.ca, and sharing information and stories within their own networks.<\/p>\n

A national registered charity, Parkinson Canada fulfils its mission through the generosity of donors.<\/p>\n

About Parkinson\u2019s and Parkinson Canada<\/h3>\n

Currently, more than 100,000 Canadians live with Parkinson\u2019s, and that number is expected to increase in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Parkinson\u2019s is a lifelong, incurable brain disease that occurs when brain cells involved in mobility and coordination are dying that can impact anyone. As a progressive disease, symptoms slowly worsen, and new ones develop over time. While Parkinson’s is typically known for its movement-related symptoms like tremors and difficulty with mobility, non-movement symptoms such as anxiety and depression, sleep issues, thinking problems, and sometimes even dementia can also occur. In total, there are a long list of potential Parkinson\u2019s symptoms, and they can vary from one person to the next. This makes everyone\u2019s experience with the disease unique. Not all symptoms of Parkinson\u2019s are outwardly visible, and the severity of symptoms can change from day to day and even by the hour.<\/p>\n

At Parkinson Canada, people with Parkinson\u2019s are at the centre of everything we do. We empower the Parkinson\u2019s community through tailored programs, innovative research and raising the voice of Canadians impacted by Parkinson\u2019s through our advocacy efforts. A national registered charity, Parkinson Canada fulfils its mission through the generosity of donors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
