Sunshine Coast community treks for Parkinsons

The 2022 Trek For Parkinsons is now into its third week.

The 2022 Trek For Parkinsons is now into its third week, with just one more week of climbing for the community to complete.

The teams event can be completed anywhere in Australia, with members climbing 20,000 metres over the month of April to coincide with World Parkinsons Day on 11 April.

Spokesperson Gary McKitterick Gillett said, “Every step we take gets us higher and closer to finding a cure for Parkinsons disease, with the local communities help we will achieve our fundraising goal.”

“Our efforts are to help raise funds for Shake It Up Australia Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and Parkinson’s Disease research in Australia.

“So far we have climbed over 12,000m as a team, so we still have some work to do.

“If you would like to help out, its never too late to get started or join in.

“We have raised over $4,000 so far but need help to reach our goal of $10,000.”
