I am Stepping up for Parkinson's this May.

As most of you know,  improving the lives of those living with Parkinson’s Disease is incorporated into my day to day research and something I am extremely passionate about. 

Forming a key element of my research, I have witnessed the importance and beneficial effects of incorporating exercise into the management of Parkinson’s Disease, not only to improve quality of life but also to reduce motor and non-motor symptom severity. 

In addition to wrapping up a PhD, 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.

Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative disorder. There are currently 219,000 Australians living with Parkinson's. Of these, 18 per cent are of working age.
