World Parkinson's Day. It's coming to a close, but I'm still here. Everyday is Parkinson's day. And I'll be here, tomorrow and again the next day. And someday, for someone, it won't be Parkinson's Day. My dream for them. #research #parkinsons #LimitlessParkinsonsCare
Access to care isn't equal across Canada. People living with Parkinson's may experience: limited access to treatment options - Canada has about half the approved medications available in the US. Uneven public coverage for medications depending upon province. Long travel and wait times fro specialized treatment

53% of people with Parkinson's surveyed had to stop working or retire earlier than planned. People living with Parkinson's and their partners cover about 90% of total costs.
