North Shore Hike for Parkinson's
Gear up for the North Shore Hike for Parkinson's
Join UBC researcher, Alisdair Taylor as he hikes the Baden Powell Trail on the North Shore to raise funds for Parkinson Society British Columbia (PSBC)! On Saturday, Novemeber 28, 2015 participants will hike 24 kilometers starting from the base of Grouse Mountain and ending in Deep Cove. Hikers are asked to make a donation to PSBC and encourage friends and family to do so as well.
Everyone affected by Parkinson's deserves to have the latest tools needed to live the healthiest life possible, for as long as possible. PSBC helps to ease the burden by providing programming and services, but as we receive no government funding, donations are integral to ensuring we can further increase their impact. Help us, help others.
Sign up today & show your support for the UBC community! Together, we can make a difference for those affected by Parkinson's.
