The Hotel Dieu Shaver's rehabilitation centre for Parkinson's disease has 130 thousand reasons to smile
The Hotel Dieu Shaver's rehabilitation centre for Parkinson's disease has 130 thousand reasons to smile this morning.
St. Catharines MP Rick Dykstra was joined by the United Way of St. Catharines and District at a media conference Wednesday to give the Steve Ludzik Centre $50 thousand dollars of the more than $180 thousand raised from the annual Hockey Night in St. Catharines game.
The rest of the money raised through the game was directed to the United Way.
Ludzik, who suffers from Parkinson's, and former NHLer Rick Vaive presented the centre with another $85 thousand dollars raised during Ludzik' golf tournament and roast events that are held in conjunction with the annual hockey game.
The Steve Ludzik Centre is located at the Shaver facility by Brock University and is funded through private donations and provides a six week program that tries to improve the how Parkinson's patients move physically.
According to a Shaver press release, the centre “assists clients to identify goals related to improving depression and/or anxiety, strengthening their voice, improving bowel and bladder control and increase their knowledge of Parkinson’s disease.
