KAMLOOPS — Get ready to lace up your walking shoes! This Saturday, September 6, Riverside Park will transform into a sea of support as the 35th annual Parkinson Superwalk kicks off. It's not just a walk; it’s a powerful statement against Parkinson’s disease!

A Milestone Event for a Crucial Cause

This beloved community event stands as the largest fundraiser for the Parkinson Society of BC, aiming to provide vital programs and services for individuals affected by this life-altering condition. Currently, more than 17,500 residents in B.C. are battling Parkinson’s, a degenerative neurological disorder that tragically impacts their daily lives.

Over the years, the Kamloops Superwalk has been a resounding success, raising between $30,000 to $40,000 each event, and this year, the local community hopes to exceed that mark with an even stronger turnout.
