As of this writing, the annual fundraising walk for Parkinson’s Estrie had taken in nearly $8,000 more than its $25,000 goal, with more donations still coming in. More than 200 people, including Sherbrooke Mayor Steve Lussier, turned out on Saturday afternoon to make the trip around Sherbrooke’s Lac des Nations in support of the local branch of Parkinson Quebec and its mission of providing free activities and resources to people living with the degenerative neurological disorder in the region.
