BlogHeroes live on through their actions Heroes live on through their actions Posted Date : Jun 14, 2016 Melissa Adamson and Joyce Gordon Like millions around the world, and especially in the Parkinson’s community, certain staff at Parkinson Canada fondly remember their experiences with Muhammad Ali, and we all applaud his courageous spirit as a Parkinson’s advocate and ambassador. In this photo, Melissa Adamson, left, who met Ali at a Parkinson’s event in Toronto and Parkinson Canada CEO Joyce Gordon, flank a poster of Ali declaring: “Ali – For the Greatest Good,” which promoted Ali’s 2002 appearance in Canada for a fundraiser. Help us continue Ali’s legacy by honouring him, or your own Parkinson hero, with a donation to bring help and hope to those living with Parkinson’s.
