2024 has been a year of growth and impact

As we gather around the warmth of the holiday season, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your unwavering support and dedication throughout this remarkable year.

2024 has been a year of growth and impact:

Support Group Meetings: We've continued our weekly zoom gatherings, providing a space for connection and understanding.

Faces and Voices Campaign: With a $10,000 monthly ad spend on Google, we've dramatically amplified our message, reaching thousands.

Advocacy and Support Committee: This new committee has already begun shaping our future initiatives for 2025, promising even more progress.

ADEP - Assistive Devices Exchange Program: We've helped numerous families secure essential equipment without cost, making a tangible difference in their daily lives.

Burlington Awareness Walk: Our inaugural walk in May not only raised awareness but also fostered a sense of community.

Grants and Awareness: We provided grants to three deserving families and hosted six awareness campaigns in local malls, spreading knowledge and support.

Digital Expansion: Our reach on social media and our website has doubled, connecting with more people who need help, and spreading awareness.

Volunteer Growth: Our core volunteer team has doubled, showing the strength and growth of our community.

Research and Support: We raised over $10,000 this year for atypical Parkinsonism research and support, a testament to our collective effort.

As we slow down for the holidays, our weekly zoom support group, thanks to Peter and Tim, will continue, ensuring no one feels alone even during this festive time.

Thank you to all our members and volunteers! Special Thanks to our Support & Advocacy Committee members!
To Tim, Peter, Kate, Rachel, Bhavana, Kat, Simone, Francesca, Terry, and Laura - your dedication will continue to be the backbone of our successes next year. We are grateful for every moment you've committed to our cause.

Looking forward to 2025, we are filled with hope and excitement for what we can achieve together. May your Christmas be filled with joy, peace, and moments of rest. Here's to another year of making a real difference!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
