The Parkinson en mouvement choir “Les Voix du Parkinson” joined in raising funds for Ste-Justine’s, one of Montreal’s pediatric hospitals. The choir chose to dance on & sing Céline Dion’s « Because You Loved Me » to show that despite illnesses, it is possible to dream & have fun. The words to the song also express something we all felt : in our lives, there are people who believe in us & give us a helping hand. Thanks to them, we can dance, sing & share the love being shown to us. Our entry raised 2 490$ for the hospital.

Richard Goulet, one of our participants at Parkinson en mouvement, describes in great detail the screening and testing before surgery, the surgery itself and the recovery period afterward. An excellent article for those living with Parkinson’s that may be considering this treatment themselves. If you want a copy of his story, please contact us.

PEM dancers, accompanied by parents & friends danced Sylvain Emard’s LE GRAND CONTINENTAL in the main hall of the Palais des Congrès. They were joined by dancers of Parkinson Stepping Forward (Ottawa), Dancing with Parkinson’s (Toronto),  Parkinson Alberta (Edmonton), and some people with PD from Matane (QC) & Wiltshire (UK).

THANKS to the participants AND to our sponsors : TEVA Canada Innovation and Société Parkinson du Grand Montréal.
