In fact, by 2034, it is estimated that 150,000 people will be living with Parkinson’s in Canada. But here’s what gives us hope: with just 5 seconds, someone can join the movement to ensure none of them face it alone. Thanks to the incredible estate gift from Judy Hazlett, who believed in the transformative power of peer support, a simple email sign-up will mean a $5 donation will go towards supporting the Parkinson’s community. How it works: Share your email, and Judy’s estate immediately donates $5 to help fund initiatives like peer mentoring, CareFinder programs, and other local community resources. Why peer support matters: When Judy was living with Parkinson’s, she understood that medical treatment was one part of the equation. The other part was through building a community, having people who truly understood the journey, and who could remind each other that they weren’t alone. The impact of $5: Every donation helps train peer mentors, deliver resources to newly diagnosed families, and strengthen local programs across Canada. It’s community-building in action. Join the movement, because just 5 seconds of action creates a lifetime of support.
