This year marks the 31st anniversary of the annual Parkinson Canada SuperWalk. Instead of walking, Farmer will be taking a different approach by drumming for 12 hours straight. Farmer is raising funds in support of his father, Alan Farmer, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease 16 years ago.

“Last year I came up with an idea to play drums for 12 hours straight to raise funds for Parkinson Canada,” Farmer says. “I thought I’d raise a couple hundred dollars, but ended up with $10,700 in the first year. This year I’m looking to double that and raise $20,000!”
The event is called “Drums For Parkinson’s.” The livestream will take place on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on August 29th.
During the event, over 25 raffle prizes will be given out to people who donate more than $25 to the cause. Viewers will also be able to donate to Parkinson Canada’s SuperWalk via a link to donate during the live event.
You can tune in to the event here on Sunday, August 29th!
