A Day to Make a Difference
Giving Tuesday is a time to celebrate our community.
Until December 2, every donation will be multiplied 4X thanks to a generous legacy match from Judy Hazlett's estate.
Your gift drives vital Parkinson's research, expands access to peer mentors and support groups, and helps people across Canada put life back into living.
Give today and multiply your impact for the Parkinson's community.

The Future of Parkinson's Treatment
While current treatments manage symptoms, they don't slow the progression of Parkinson's. Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) aim to change that by targeting the underlying causes of Parkinson's--from harmful protein buildup to gene changes and cell loss.
Researchers are exploring new antibody drugs, gene and stem cell therapies, and even repurposed medications that could slow progression and improve quality of life.
As this research advances, it's vital that our community understands what these therapies mean and how they could shape care in the years ahead.
