🌷Help Hamish fight Parkinsons🌷

Hamish was first diagnosed with a rare form of aggressive early onset Parkinsons Disease when he was 43. He is now 45; lately he has been hit with sudden fast deterioration of symptoms and has had more falls resulting in him having to leave work. He can not get up off the ground without assistance.

You can imagine the layers of stress & worry as it impacts every angle of his life including disturbed sleep patterns etc.

This horrendous disease is now a daily struggle as he tries to be proactive in his self care & raising two kids ages 11 & 9. He was coaching his sons league team, played for Riccarton Knights Club & enjoyed the social aspects of his job. All of which he has had to withdraw from. Instead, he was attending physio led exercise course at Burwood 3 times per week; and he was the youngest there. He's gone from being so productive in his community & care for his young family to feelings of letting his family down, isolation and embarrassment. He can't go anywhere without people staring as they wonder if he's just drunk.

The good news is that he has been selected for a rare brain operation within 12 months. Frightening because he has to be awake during the op.

We need to get his wife to Auckland when he is called up as his support person. Iv based flights, travel, food & accomodation costs around her staying for one week as a guide to the minimum we need to raise. Please help me raise a minimum of $1568.
