Over 30 communities across Canada participated in the 2025 Parkinson Canada SuperWalk, showcasing hope and community support for those living with Parkinson’s disease.

Bryce Perry, the associate director of community outreach and engagement for Parkinson Canada, was 40 years old when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease—a condition that affects the brain and causes symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, slow movement, depression, and memory loss. Now, 15 years later, Perry was one of many participating in the Parkinson Canada SuperWalk in Winnipeg, one of more than 30 walks held across Canada.

Every September, the SuperWalk raises funds for research and helps spread awareness about the disease, something participants say is just as important as fundraising. So far, the event has raised over $45 million for research, support programs, and advocacy.

By walking, donating, or volunteering, Canadians have helped ensure that more than 110,000 people with Parkinson’s can live fuller lives. Parkinson Canada continues to invest in cutting-edge research and supports thousands of Canadians each year with free programs and more than 120 support groups, while advocating for better care and services to improve the quality of life for those affected.
