Walking in Honour of Jamie, Our Warrior

We Will Walk You!

This year, our hearts are both heavy and full as we lace up our walking shoes for the Walk for PD.  For over 15 years, we've watched our beloved Jamie face Parkinson's disease with incredible strength and determination.  She truly is a warrior - fighting each day with grace and courage.

Jamie won't be able to join us on the walking path this year due to recent health events, but her spirit will be with us every step of the way.

Why We Walk

Parkinson's disease affects millions of families worldwide, and we've seen firsthand how it impacts not just the person diagnosed, but everyone who loves them. While Jamie's health has presented new challenges this year, we walk to honour her journey, to support crucial research, and to help other families facing this diagnosis.

For a person living with Parkinson’s, each day can be a struggle to perform common tasks that most of us take for granted. Medication can help symptoms, but there’s no cure for this progressive neurodegenerative disease. By 2031, the number of people living with Parkinson’s is expected to double.

With your support, together, we can ensure that there is a place for people living with Parkinson’s to turn to – a place like Home. Parkinson Society Southwestern Ontario provides much needed programs services, advocacy and research initiatives to build and spread awareness, care and support for Parkinson’s. They are Home for everyone living with Parkinson’s Disease in Southwestern Ontario.

Your support means the world to us and honour's Jamie's incredible journey. Please support us as We Walk for Parkinson’s this September. Your donation will stay local and help make a difference to more than 10,000 people living with Parkinson’s right here at Home.
