Global Alliance to End Parkinson’s Disease

PD Avengers

PD Avengers is a patient-led organization, united in the purpose of ending Parkinson's disease. We raise awareness, engagement and hope.

We add urgency to the cause of ending Parkinson’s disease.

It’s Not Parkinson’s. It’s Swagger.

Parkinson Canada is out with a new campaign today.
CEO Karen Lee says, “we wanted to develop a commercial that
would act as a rallying cry for people with Parkinson’s
across Canada – something that would stop people
in their scroll and help challenge the stigma that so many face. 

To complement the commercial, Parkinson Canada also developed a website that tells inspiring stories of people living with Parkinson’s, including Robert – the man at the centre of the ad. The site also provides an opportunity for people to share their experiences (which we recognize can vary from person to person) with us, connect to life-changing support, to donate or get involved in many meaningful ways.  www.findyourswagger.ca
