My grandfather had Parkinson's Disease. Most of the memories I have of my grandpa are impressions of a man with PD. Grandpa and I did many things when I was young - played cards, had fun at the cottage, read books - but living with PD gradually made these activities more and more difficult. My grandmother was the number one fundraiser for the Parkinson's group in Durham Region (a title she held until she was 91 years old!). I joined Porridge for Parkinson's to honour them both.
I have been co-chair for Porridge for Parkinson's since 2018. This year we're holding our brunch on November 12th at Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto. I would love to see you there! (Tickets available at https://porridgeforparkinsonsto.org/).
