Message from
the Co-Directors
The Parkinson Research Consortium (PRC) was founded in 2004 to bring
researchers together in the fight against Parkinson’s disease. The PRC aims
to offer better solutions and increased knowledge of Parkinson’s on the
way to a cure.
Your participation in Lap the Gats for Parkinson’s means further support
and awareness of the crucial research being done in Ottawa, which is then
translated into better therapies and options for patients everywhere.
100% of the revenues from the Lap the Gats event goes to the PRC to fund:
• Fellowships for researchers in cutting edge laboratories at the
University of Ottawa and the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute; and,
• Specific novel projects examining the degenerative process in PD.
In 2014, Lap the Gats raised over $80,000.
Join us in 2015 for another opportunity to support this worthy cause!
