Finance & Operations Specialist

Who we are We’re not your typical non-profit.

We bring swagger to everything we do.

That means we move with purpose in every step, driven by our commitment to putting our community at the centre of our work.

Every day, we ask ourselves to see possibilities where others see limits.

Because people with Parkinson’s and care partners deserve better.

Better care, more inclusive research and access to treatment and support that make living well possible.

Our mission is to empower and inspire people living with Parkinson’s and their care partners to live fully and courageously.

Through community support, advocacy, and research, we encourage others to see a diagnosis not as a dimming of light, but a spark for a new beginning.

Move forward.

Together.

On Mission.
