A Little Bit Shaky

30/04/2026

Parkinson's Awareness Month ends TONIGHT. There's still time to support cutting edge Australian research during April, and make a life-changing impact for people living with Parkinson's disease.

Every action - big or small - this month, makes a significant difference.

Science is propelling us closer to a cure than ever; and you can help us get there.

Donate today to support and drive discoveries that will change the future: https://shakeitup.org.au/donate/

Jules and I set a challenge for ourselves for April……

The New Shoe 100km Challenge!

And we did it!

This morning at sunrise we smashed out the final few kms on our driveway with Billy keeping an eye on us!

I can’t thank Julie Hartigan enough for supporting me over this month of awareness and walking and fundraising! I wouldn’t have made it without you 💜

I was a little ambitious with my fundraising goal ($5000) but I’m still so very grateful for the generosity of those who have donated.
But April is still alive, so there’s still time to donate. Every dollars that is donated to Shake It Up Australia Foundation for Parkinson's Research goes straight to research.
Better understanding
Better treatment
And hopefully one day a cure for Parkinson.
So if you can, please donate

On Saturday I’m going for a walk.
A beautiful scenic walk.
An eighteen kms walk.
Nothing too strenuous.
Just a walk.

For fourteen years I’ve walking.
A little bit shaky walk.
Walking because I can.
Walking because I need to.
Just walking.

On Saturday I’m taking my Parkinson’s for a walk.
A beautiful supported walk.
An eighteen kms of love and friendship walk.
Maybe strenuous but worth it.
Just a walk….never!

WALK WITH ME
