Joyce Barretto<\/p><\/div> Do you want to make a difference in the lives of Canadians affected by Parkinson\u2019s disease? Do you feel that there are issues and concerns that are going unheard by government and policy makers? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you should consider joining our Parkinson\u2019s Ambassador Network and help end this silence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have that personal connection, be it a family member or friend, I invite you to make a difference in the lives of Canadians with Parkinson\u2019s,\u201d says Joyce Barretto, Chair of Parkinson Society Canada\u2019s National Advocacy Committee.<\/p>\n

Barretto\u2019s deep commitment to the cause comes from her mother, who has been living with Parkinson\u2019s for more than 18 years.<\/p>\n

As a representative of the Parkinson\u2019s community, you will meet with your local MP to discuss issues impacting the Parkinson\u2019s community, in advance of the 2015 federal election and beyond. You will be a vital part of our Ambassador Network, made up of dedicated volunteers doing the same thing in ridings across the country.<\/p>\n

Who are we looking for?<\/strong><\/p>\n
