TORONTO, SEPTEMBER 10 \u2013 Communities across Canada rallied in support of people living with Parkinson\u2019s and in search of a cure this past weekend. 4,000 fundraising walkers and over 10,000 participants came together to raise over $2 million. This year\u2019s fundraising has already passed the nationwide goal of $2.25 Million \u2013 a new record for Parkinson SuperWalk operated as Parkinson Canada.<\/p>\n

People living with Parkinson\u2019s were joined by family and friends, healthcare professionals, dedicated volunteers, and researchers across the country. Residents of Toronto contributed heavily to the success of the 27th annual Parkinson SuperWalk; an event which has raised over $37 million since the first walk in 1990 and first launched by 15 volunteers marching up Bathurst Street in Toronto.<\/p>\n

To mark this year\u2019s landmark fundraising total and in the spirit of \u201cshining a light\u201d on the accomplishment, and on everyday heroes across the country the CN Tower will be lit in SuperWalk\u2019s Blue and Red starting at Dusk on Wednesday, September 13. Join us and this Canadian Institution in celebrating everyday heroes and extraordinary hope for a future without Parkinson\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Parkinson community is an epitome of resilience; this was on full display once again this year at SuperWalk. Community members came together and showed that they won\u2019t let Parkinson\u2019s beat them,\u201d says Jon Collins, Associate Director Events and Partnerships. \u201cThe funds they raised will help people with Parkinson\u2019s live well through increased support, education, advocacy, and most importantly research for a cure.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year, Parkinson Canada is taking a moment after the walk to shine a light on Everyday Heroes across the country who showcase that resiliency and strength of spirit in their daily lives. Toronto\u2019s Blake Bell was named the National Hero for 2016 for those reasons, and in 2017 the organization acknowledged Wadena, Saskatchewan\u2019s Ardyce Glessing.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome days doing the best we can will fall short of what we would like to do. We must not dwell on what we can’t do and be thankful for what we can. You may see me struggle but you will never see me quit, we must keep going! To me, that is the key to living well with Parkinson\u2019s\u201d, says Ardyce.<\/p>\n

Parkinson\u2019s affects over 100,000 Canadians, a number expected to increase substantially in the coming years, with 25 Canadians diagnosed each day. While the 27th Parkinson SuperWalk was a resounding success, continued support is needed in order to achieve a world without Parkinson\u2019s, so that one day Canadians will no longer be told that they have Parkinson\u2019s.<\/p>\n
