Parkinson’s fundraising IS a laughing matter

Jackie and Bob Biltcliffe, two residents at Chatham Retirement Resort, recently donated funds from the sales of Jackie’s cartoon book to support Parkinson’s research. Jackie, whose cartoons appeared in Ontario Farmers Weekly, is a victim of Parkinson’s.

During a recent open house at Chatham Retirement Resort, residents Jackie and Bob Biltcliffe turned a personal story into a powerful act of giving.

Jackie, once a cartoonist for the Ontario Farmers Weekly, is known for her humorous and heartfelt comic strip “Jackie B,” which was later published as The Best of Jackie B.

Now facing Parkinson’s disease and no longer able to draw, Jackie decided to offer her books by donation to support Parkinson’s research.

With Bob adding his trademark comic relief at the event, the couple helped raise funds for a cause close to their hearts.
