Funds raised from the event will go towards supporting programs and services for individuals and families affected by Parkinson’s, as well as research initiatives to find a cure. The Parkinson Society of Canada is dedicated to improving the quality of life for those living with the disease and ultimately finding a cure.
The “Picnic for Parkinson’s” was a success, with a large turnout and generous donations from the community. It was a heartwarming and uplifting event, bringing together individuals from all walks of life to support a common cause.
