volunteers from coast-to-coast
organize and take part in this
SuperWalk.
Since 1990, Parkinson Super -
Walk has raised $20 million to
fund vital research, education,
support and advocacy, on behalf
of the over 100,000 Canadian's
with Parkinson's disease and their
400,000 family, friends and car-
egivers. In 2010, SuperWalk raised
a record $2.8 million.
The SuperWalk for Parkinson's
is Parkinson Society Canada's
(PSC) largest fundraising event
and will take place in more than
90 communities across the
country. The 2011 SuperWalk
hopes to raise $3 million to help
fund support services, education,
advocacy and research for over
100,000 Canadians living with
Parkinson's.
The Sarnia-Lambton SuperWalk
for Parkinson's will be on Satur-
day, September 10th, 2011 at Sar-
nia Bay Marina 1n Sarnia.
Carolyn Conners, (:EO of Par-
kinson Society Southwestern
Ontario says, "It is hard to believe
that what started out as a small,
single family walk for Parkinson's
evolved into a national event that
attracts family and friends from all
across Canada. Parkinson Society
Southwestern Ontario began with
one walk in 1995, raising $11,000
and has grown to 11 volunteer -
driven Walks. We are proud and
appreciative of our Southwestern
Ontario community for raising
$2.2 million since our beginning.
Clearly, this demonstrates the
power of volunteers and is proof
of the communities' growing sup-
port and need for better services
and further research to help our
Parkinson's cause."
Parkinson's is a slow, progres-
sive, neurological disorder that
makes the simplest task, like
