Dear John,

My name is Kathleen. Over the years, my family and I have been involved with Parkinson Canada, and they’ve just told me about a special chance to make a difference. It is such great news that I wanted to share it with you, too!

Next Tuesday (December 3) is Giving Tuesday – a day that's all about doing good and giving back. In honour of this day, all donations to Parkinson Canada from December 3-31 will be matched, thanks to a generous gift from the late Jeanne Olliver, while matching funds last. 

Even more great news! Parkinson Canada has opened their Giving Tuesday donation page early for their most loyal supporters. Use this special link to access the match TODAY so your donation will have twice the impact!

When I told my husband Danny about this special offer, he grinned at me with excitement. I know he was imagining how your donations will multiply to provide more people with the support and resources to transform how they live with Parkinson’s, opening the door to possibilities that might seem out of reach. 

As someone living with Parkinson’s, Dan has a keen interest in research and its potential to change how people live with Parkinson’s in the future. And of course, he and the rest of our family have benefited greatly from the resources and support Parkinson Canada offers.

Please make a Giving Tuesday donation and help families discover what’s still possible while navigating life with Parkinson’s. With the right support, you can help people redefine their Parkinson’s to live more empowered lives. Just look at Danny – he was participating in competitive runs as recently as five years ago in his mid-70s!

John, I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together on Giving Tuesday to multiply our giving power for twice the impact! I’ll be back in touch then to share more of my family’s story.

Sincerely,

Kathleen Hatton

Loving wife of Dan, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2007
