Over 100 gathered at Morden Mennonite Church Saturday to fight Parkinson’s.

During the 15th Parkinson’s Super Walk in Morden, people raised money towards Parkinson’s research, walking two or five kilometre with those living with the disease.

HP Walkers is a group of friends and family brought together by Martha Wieler, named after her father who was diagnosed with the disease.

Wieler explains you never know how difficult dealing with Parkinson’s is until it affects someone in your family.

Lenore Laverty has been involved in the Super Walk since its formation in 2003, as a way to support her brother who was diagnosed with Parkinson's

The group's goals include raising awareness while supporting those living with the disease and funding research towards a cure.

Event Organizer Lenore Laverty says the Super Walk is personal for her as well.

"My brother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, so it was at least something I could do to provide some support. When you come on a day like today and see the enthusiasm of people, I think for somebody with Parkinson’s it really is a great support to know people are on their side."

Parkinson’s affects one in 500 Canadians. There is no known cure for the neurological disease.

Parkinson’s Canada is a non-profit organization that relies on fundraisers like the Super Walk.

Arlan Mendiola Parkinson’s Canada Manitoba Event Coordinator for the Super Walk says all money goes towards a good cause.

Mendiola explains the money helps fund Movement Disorder Clinics, helping those suffering from the disease, as well as support research for a cure.

Morden’s Super Walk raised over $30,000 during the event with fundraising continuing to the end of September.
