Hello John,

When I was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s at 49, I was devastated. The fear, the uncertainty – I felt like life as I knew it was slipping away.

But with my wife Kristine by my side, and support from Parkinson Canada, I found my way back. I learned that even with Parkinson’s, there can still be joy – in movement, in family, and in laughter. Especially in laughter.

That’s what your generosity makes possible: you help families like mine put life back into living. And today only, your donation will make quadruple the difference thanks to a 4X match from Judy Hazlett’s estate, while matching funds last. Please give before midnight so we can reach this goal and maximize our shared impact!

It isn’t easy navigating life with Parkinson’s. But to me, what’s most important is that I find ways to keep feeling good. My job in construction is active and keeps me moving. I spend a lot of time connecting with friends and family, especially my three kids and little granddaughter. 

For me, laughter helps put life back into living. Your support makes that possible – and today, on Giving Tuesday, that support can go four times as far. Please give before the day is through to quadruple your impact!

With gratitude,
Tony Viegas

P.S. Today only, every Giving Tuesday gift multiplies fourfold to fund research, education, and support programs. Donate now for 4X impact to bring more light and laughter back into people’s lives.
