Care FUND winners, upcoming events, resources and more
 

This October, we’re focusing on the power of impact. Whether through grand gestures or small acts of kindness, every effort counts when it comes to supporting the Parkinson’s community. From advocating for better healthcare access, volunteering time, or simply raising awareness, there are countless ways you can make a difference in the lives of people affected by Parkinson’s. No action is too small to spark meaningful change. Let’s explore how we can all contribute to a brighter future, one step at a time.

A Special Thanks To Clairvest

Oct. 5 was the big day, where we met in beautiful Collingwood and rode together in support of the Parkinson’s community for Growling Beaver’s 10th anniversary ride. We’d like to extend a big thanks to Clairvest, our long-time lead sponsor for the event. Their support has helped make it all possible. We’d also like to thank you for your help in bringing this magical day to life. If we missed you there, it’s not too late to donate!
