July is here, and summer has officially begun! This month we’re looking at the impact of people in our community. Big or small, every contribution matters. As we welcome the warm weather, let’s recognize and thank everyone in the community who is making an impact by helping to improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s and care partners across Canada.

Want to see the impact we made together last year? Parkinson Canada’s 2024 Impact Report is now live! The report gives a detailed breakdown of all the amazing programs and support that your generous donations helped to fund. Whether it’s research, support programs, or advocating for our community, we’ve made a big difference across Canada, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
