Join us on Friday November 30th for our 7th Annual Ludzy Celebrity Roast for Parkinson's.  Our guest of honor this year is hometown hero Derek "the turk" Sanderson who played 15 years in the NHL.  This event is our largest fundraiser as we welcome a host of former athletes, tv personalities and supporters who come together to help us raise funds for the Steve Ludzik Parkinson's Rehab Centre located at Hotel Dieu Shaver Rehabiliation Centre in St. Catharines.  

The Steve Ludzik Foundation is soley responsible for this one-of-a-kind Parkinson's clinic and as such we are reaching out to our friends and community partners to help us continue making a difference in the lives of people living with PD and their families.
