Parkinson Montréal-Laval will host its annual Parcours Parkinson 2026 walk on Sunday, September 20, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Parc Ahuntsic in Montreal. The two‑hour event aims to raise public awareness of Parkinson's disease and to collect donations toward a $100,000 fundraising target.
The organization, founded in 2004, has designated the walk as its flagship yearly activity. Participants are invited to stroll the park’s pathways while learning about the challenges faced by those living with Parkinson's. Information booths and educational materials will be available throughout the venue to help attendees understand the disease and the support services offered by Parkinson Montréal-Laval.
Funds gathered during the walk will be directed to the group’s ongoing programs, which focus on research, patient assistance, and community outreach. By reaching the $100,000 goal, the organization hopes to expand its capacity to provide resources and to fund initiatives that improve the quality of life for individuals affected by Parkinson's.
The event is open to the public, and community members are encouraged to join the walk, volunteer, or contribute financially. Organizers expect a strong turnout, reflecting growing local interest in health‑related causes and the organization’s long‑standing presence in the Montreal area. The walk not only serves as a fundraising mechanism but also reinforces the organization’s mission of education and support for those living with Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson Montréal-Laval’s Parcours Parkinson 2026 underscores the continued commitment of the group to both raise awareness and secure vital resources for its programs, marking another year of community engagement and advocacy in the fight against Parkinson's disease.
