What is Step Up for Parkinson's

Step Up for Parkinson's is a virtual fitness challenge open to everyone. This May we are asking you to Step Up for Parkinson's by doing 5K a day. You can walk, run, or cycle it's up to you and best of all, you can do your 5K a day anywhere and at any time.

If doing 5K a day is not for you, we hear you. You can still Step Up for Parkinson's by setting yourself a challenge this May.

However, you choose to Step Up for Parkinson's this May you will be making a difference by raising funds for people living with Parkinson's.

I have Parkinson's, but I'm stepping up for all the wonderful people I've met on this journey who are fighting this disease.

I’m stepping up for Parkinson’s during May, due to my husband being diagnosed in 2016. Seeing the changes in the past 7 years has been hard and I won’t to make people aware of this disease that does not discriminate.

Barry Whiting

Hi everyone I am Stepping up for Parkinsons during May. Because I was diagnosed with Parkinsons 2 years ago this May. My goal is to raise awareness and encourage people to take the challenge. Also to get out and do this to raise funds for Parkinsons NSW. Probably the most important thing is to keep active and keep setting goals for yourself.

I'm Stepping up for all the people living with Parkinson's . Last year I completed this 31 day challenge and you helped me raise over $3,800 - if you supported me a HUGE thank you. So my goal this year is to exceed that and fund more specialist supports. Since then I have learned of two family members with Parkinson's my Aunt Carol (Mums sister) and Mums cousin Peter. Parkinson's disease does not discriminate, it crops up uninvited when you least expect it. Helping others is one way of giving back and making a difference. 31 days of 6am yoga challenge.

Hi friends, As you know I have Parkinsons Disease . I am taking part in Step up for Parkinsons in May. I am hoping to raise $550. This year will be a little different for me as I will be in Bali for 3 week so I will getting some sight seeing in while doing my walk. Thank you everyone for supporting me last year. I would love your support again this year but understand that times are hard for some of you. Funds are used for research into this debilitating disease so every $ counts
