Nouvelles et événements – Sep 2019

Joignez-vous à notre reseau de plus de 80 collectivités et de 10 000 participants à travers le Canada. La Grande Randonnée Parkinson Canada a lieu chaque année en septembre. Partout au pays, marcheurs, donateurs et bénévoles s’unissent pour se montrer qu’ils ne sont pas les seuls à résister à la maladie de Parkinson. Depuis 1990, les marcheurs ont amassé plus de 38 millions de dollars (dont 2,35 millions de dollars en 2018) pour soutenir une vie meilleure aujourd’hui pour les Canadiens atteints de la maladie de Parkinson et un monde sans maladie de Parkinson demain.
