I'M STEPPING UP FOR...

Debbie and Bill McCarthy

Debbie has been the loving wife and carer of Bill for more than 26 years. She deserves credit for her ‘never give up’ attitude towards living the best quality life with Bill that she can. She also is an inspiration to me as her daughter who also has YOPD.

Troy Evans

I’m stepping up for my beautiful husband Troy. Young onset Parkinson’s was a plot twist that we were unprepared for. We have however found our silver lining and decided to just live the best way we can for as long as we can. Life still gets to be good 💗

Bee Ong

I’m stepping up for Parkinson because i would like to let people who are affected know that they are not alone and the community is there to support them.

John Mackey -Matthew

I am stepping up for everyone that has PD like myself .to raise monies for research and assistance for people living with Chronic Parkinson’s disease

Denise

I am stepping up for myself and my late father as we both have/had parkinsons disease. Research is so important to find a cure, improve medication and to enable early and accurate diagnosis. Exercise is the key to improving quality of life, not only for parkinsons suffers, so this challenge will also help keep me on track with my daily physical activity goals.

Ainsley

I am stepping up for my husband who has YOPD. And for everyone affected by Parkinson's.

Wendy

I am stepping up for myself with the fantastic support from my hubby and for all who suffer from Parkinsons . To find a cure would be fantastic.

Annonymous

Wendy & Sid

I’m stepping up for myself & my family; everyone is affected by this awful thing, & every bit of money raised means more support for all. Also, all brain research can bring us closer to a cure.

My family

My husband who i care for full-time, and my daughter who has YOPD. Also for everyone who lives with PD.

Deborah and William McCarthy

My mum, Debbie, has been caring for my dad, Bill, every day for over 25 years. My dad has a duadopa pump and had DBS in 2024 under the care of Dr Tisch. They are my inspiration and my heroes, helping me to do all that I can to stay well, as a resilient person with YOPD.
