Kelley to participate in SuperWalk for Parkinson's

Every September, Canadians from coast to coast unite to raise awareness and essential funds for Parkinson's Canada. SuperWalk has raised over $43 million to fund research, support tools, and advocacy for people with Parkinson's.

On Saturday, September 9, the Annual SuperWalk for Parkinson's is being held in Saskatoon, and once again, Kindersley's Nancy Kelley will be participating. As of September 2, Nancy had raised just under $3,000.

Approximately 100,000 Canadians are living with Parkinson's disease, and many more are living with the effects of it.

More than 30 Canadians are diagnosed with Parkinson's daily - that's more than one every hour. By 2040, the number of Canadians battling Parkinson's disease is projected to double.

The funds raised go directly towards further education, advocacy & research to improve treatments for those currently living with Parkinson's!

For more information locally about Parkinson's, support available, the SuperWalk 2023, or to donate, please call Nancy Kelley at 306-463-4514.
