“Every hour of every day someone is diagnosed with Parkinson’s in Australia, and there is currently no known cause, prevention or cure,” says Lucy Reader, Parkinson’s WA community engagement and marketing coordinator.
“This is our fourth Parkinson’s WA Unity Walk and it will be bigger and better than ever, with Mix 94.5’s Shane McFarlane our event ambassador/Emcee, local personal trainer Nick Milnes leading the warm-up, and our very own ‘Parkinsong’ choir singing on the day.”
With the help of community members and Perth businesses, Parkinson’s WA aims to raise $100,000 to help people living with Parkinson’s in the state.
Not up to the walk? Ask someone to walk on your behalf, or sponsor another walker.
