Marissa Cressatti is an Everyday Hero taking part in Parkinson SuperWalk 2018. Walk with her starting at the Casgrain building of John Abbott College on September 16th.

Captain of the top SuperWalk 2017 team, Schipper Lab, Marisa Cressatti will be walking again this year. She is a young Parkinson researcher working on her PhD at McGill University and a regular volunteer at Parkinson Canada in Quebec. Marisa hopes to find better treatment strategies for patients through her research, and maybe even a cure.

In the lab we work with test tubes and not with patients. Volunteering with Parkinson Canada gives me a chance to interact with the people Iâ€™m doing research for and SuperWalk gives me an opportunity to contribute to raising funds for research. says Marisa. It is fun and very rewarding, she adds.
Parkinsonâ€™s affects over 100,000 Canadians, a number expected to double by 2030. Parkinson SuperWalk is a family outing with a special purpose. It is a great opportunity for people with Parkinsonâ€™s to meet others living with the disease, talk with their families, and begin to build a supportive network. Funds raised are invested in Quebec to provide services, education and advocacy for people affected by Parkinsonâ€™s and for research into improving treatments and finding a cure.
