A Walk in a Park

Support me as I take part in A Walk in the Park 2024

I am so excited to take part in the 2024 A Walk in the Park for Fight Parkinson's on Sunday April 21st. The event is helping to lift the lid on Parkinson’s and raising awareness and funds to support the Parkinson’s community.

When the Parkinson’s community stands united, we can empower each other to make a difference. A Walk in the Park provides the opportunity to stand together to be seen, heard and understood. Together we can say more, do more, be more. Let’s fight Parkinson’s together.

Please donate today to help all those living with Parkinson's get the valuable support they need to live a full life.

Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that affects people from all walks of life. It is quite common, with approximately 219,000 Australians, including over 57,000 Victorians living with Parkinson’s.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

The road back.

Saturday 13th Apr
I am 4 1/2 weeks post Deep Brain Simulation (DBS). Now I have two electrodes deep in my brain which is controlled by a device mounted inside my chest.  The road to recovery is a tough one. Lack of sleep due to restless legs has returned. Device tuning is tricky. I have hair until the scares heal on my head and I can shave again (can’t wait). 
But when the device is tuned right life is so much different. My balance has returned (no walking stick) most tremors have disappeared and some of my flexibility has returned.
Now I am working on getting my body and mind ready to return to full time work, which should be a few weeks away.

Thank you for all the support I have received, I have great friends and work colleagues.
