I am Stepping up for Parkinson's this May.

During the month of May, I will be Stepping Up for Parkinson's.. This is my third year of Stepping Up, and I have been amazed and so appreciative of all the wonderful family and friends who have been there to support me, not only by donating, but emotionally as well.

Your generous support will assist me in reaching my fundraising goal and allow Parkinson's NSW to continue its mission to enhance the quality of life for people living with Parkinson's, their carers and families.

Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative disorder. There are currently 245,000 Australians living with Parkinson's. Of these, 18 per cent are of working age. It is another of those terrible diseases that has no cure. If you wish to join the numbers of people Stepping Up, contact Parkinson's NSW.

My Updates

It is nearly May and time for me to record my daily activitiies.

Friday 19th Apr
In 2022, the first year that Step up for Parkinson's began, I simply walked 5km per day. In 2023, I was having bigger problems walking due to the osteoarthritis in my feet, so I added some kilometres on my bike.
This year I will throw in a complete mix of things which is what I have been doing since I was diagnosed almost eight years ago. My week goes like this
Monday :-45mins Aqua aerobics:  45mins yoga/pilates mix
Tuesday :- 4 hours working at the Hunter Region  Botanic
                      Gardens weeding, raking, planting ..........
Wednesday :- Similar to Monday
Thursday :- Bike riding with Grannies on bikes  Min 30km-
                         45km
Friday :- same as Mon and Wed
Saturday :- Park Run preferably as a volunteer due to feet.
Sunday :- Bike ride with my Husband; 55mins of Yin Yoga

Plus I walk the dog;  Mow the lawns; walk with a friend as time permits. When I feel bad or have pain :- I EXERCISE.
