I am Stepping up for Parkinson's this May.

During the month of May, I will be Stepping Up for Parkinson's.

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.

Globally, neurological disorders are now the leading cause of disability and Parkinson’s is the fastest-growing neurological disease. 

It is also misunderstood as a disease exclusively affecting elderly people. The reality is that Parkinson’s affects a wide range of age groups. Five Australians under 40 are diagnosed every day.

There are currently 219,000 Australians living with Parkinson's and it is more prevalent than most common cancers such as breast, prostate, and lung cancer combined. Yet it receives far less Government funding than these other diseases.  

With your help we can improve quality of life for people with Parkinson’s and their loved ones right now… as the long-term search for a cure continues.
