Martha Johnson was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2000. Earlier this year, she became the second person in the world to
undertake a two year experimental medical trial using Spinal Cord Stimulation to potentially alleviate the freezing and gait symptoms associated with PD.
The funds raised at the evening’s event will go directly to the ongoing research
programs headed by Dr. Lang and Dr. Fasano at Toronto Western Hospital.

Many people including those living outside of Toronto or out of country not able to attend have expressed the desire to make a donation to Parkinson’s research
at Toronto Western Hospital where Martha is currently taking part in the Spinal Cord Stimulation trial.
We have set up a direct link to Toronto Western Hospital where donations can be securely made here:
Your donation will go directly to the Toronto General & Western Hospital Foundation to support Parkinson’s disease research at Toronto Western Hospital’s Krembil Neuroscience Centre.
Thank you for all your positive thoughts and good wishes,
Mark and Martha
