Why We Walk
The Walk to U-Turn Parkinson’s is more than just a fundraising event. It’s a community effort to support those living with Parkinson’s disease. All funds raised will go towards U-Turn Parkinson’s free programs and services, empowering individuals in their pursuit of wellness and a better quality of life.
I use a walker/wheelchair, can I still attend the event?
Yes! The entire walk is on paved road and unobstructed for wheelchairs, walkers, canes or other mobility aids. The walk loop is about half a kilometre and can be completed once, twice or as many times as you’d like!
Is there a registration fee?
No – this is a free, all ages event. However, registration is required. Please register here!
Lunch is included?
