Carleton Neuroscience students led the way in raising $1600 at Lap the Gaps for Parkinson’s!

The Faculty of Science would like to applaud every student who participated in the Lap the Gaps for Parkinson’s on May 31st. The team Lesioned Amygdalas represented Carleton and raised a total of $1600 for this amazing cause! Lap the Gats for Parkinson’s is a charitable cycling event that takes place in Gatineau Park to raise funds for Parkinson’s disease research (http://www.lapthegats.org/event-information.html).

Kyla Vanderzwet and Nazneen Rustom helped organize the event, and many students from Carleton join their team as cyclists on a mission to raise money and awareness for Parkinson’s disease. A grand total of $1600 worth of donations were raised by Carleton cyclists who conducted personal fundraising as well as organized two events including a Pub Crawl and an event at Fitness Corner South.

Another special thanks to the Raven's Rhythm Cheerleading Team also came to the event which was a highlight for everyone involved. 

We hope to see even more people out next year in support of raising research funding to fight Parkinson’s disease!
