Parkinson Montreal-Laval will host its annual Parcours Parkinson walk on September 20, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Ahuntsic Park in Montreal. The two‑hour event is organized to raise public awareness of Parkinson disease and to collect donations, with a fundraising target set at $100,000.
The walk is the flagship yearly activity of Parkinson Montreal-Laval. Participants will follow a designated route through the park while informational materials about Parkinson disease are made available along the course.
Funds generated by the event are intended to support the organization’s ongoing programs. Parkinson Montreal-Laval, founded in 2004, provides services, education, and support to individuals living with Parkinson disease and to their families throughout the Montreal‑Laval region.
The organization describes the walk as a key opportunity to increase community understanding of the condition. By bringing together walkers, volunteers, and onlookers, the event seeks to highlight the challenges faced by those affected and to encourage broader public engagement.
The $100,000 goal reflects the scale of the organization’s current fundraising needs, which include financing research initiatives, educational outreach, and direct assistance programs. The walk also offers a platform for donors and volunteers to contribute time and resources in a visible, collective setting.
Since its inception, the annual walk has become a regular feature on the organization’s calendar, drawing participants from the local area each year. Organizers expect a diverse turnout that includes patients, family members, community groups, and residents of the Ahuntsic neighborhood.
The event will conclude at noon, after which the organizers will tally the total amount raised and share the results with participants and supporters.
