Parkinson SuperWalk at RioCan Oakville Place set for Sept. 10 Oakville residents are being asked to support those living with Parkinson's Disease by participating in the annual Parkinson SuperWalk on Saturday, Sept. 10. The event will take place at RioCan Oakville Place, 240 Leighland Ave., with check-in time at 9 a.m., and the walk itself starting at 10 a.m. The walk distance is 2.5 kilometres and for someone with Parkinson's, it can have a very real impact. "Events like Parkinson SuperWalk enable us to deliver much needed services within the community and fund research into improved treatments and a cure," said Nicole Medcalf, Oakville SuperWalk co-ordinator, in a media release. "And this event is very inspiring to those living with Parkinson's and their families when they see their friends and neighbours taking part in this special event or supporting walkers with donations." Medcalf said more than 100,000 Canadians live with Parkinson's. She also pointed out every hour, another Canadian is diagnosed. Parkinson's is a disease of the brain that touches almost every aspect of a person's daily life, including movement, mood, speech, ability to smell, eating and drinking, sleep and cognitive abilities. It worsens over time eventually robbing the person of their independence through increasing disability. Residents can register at www. ParkinsonSuperWalk.ca.
