Parkinson’s fundraiser walks its way to Red Deer
The Parkinson Association of Alberta’s (PAA) annual Step ‘n Stride will roll through Red Deer on September 7, kicking off with activities in Capstone’s Canada 150 Square.
The event will start with coffee and treats before participants head to the start line to walk either one, three, or five kilometres.
Afterwards, there will be a barbecue, music, games, and prizes.
The annual event is a fundraiser for the association and their efforts to aid those with Parkinson’s disease, which officials say impacts more than 10,000 Albertans. This fundraiser walks through nine Alberta communities, and Yellowknife, N.W.T., throughout September.
