The Trek For Parkinson’s 2022 phase one has now come to an end, as phase two begins with other trekkers continuing on Mt Coolum over the next few weeks and flying the flag for Parkinson’s Disease awareness.
The team has climbed just on 18,000m, which is more than twice the height of Mt Everest.
Spokesman Gary McKitterick Gillett said, “We have climbed every Sunday morning, Wednesday and Friday night for the past month, engaging in conversations about what we are doing and why it is important. If we each can help a little, it makes a big difference.
“Our efforts are to help raise funds for Shake It Up Australia Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and Parkinson’s Disease research in Australia.
“Our fundraising continues and donation QR cards can be found at Kathmandu Stores, Kawana and the Sunshine Plaza, as well as Goodlife Fitness Centre, Maroochydore.
“On the Sunshine Coast we will continue climbing Mt Coolum and Mt Ngungun.“
World Parkinsons’ Day was on Monday 11 April.
