Running 365 days for Parkinson's Awareness and Support

Parkinson’s Disease is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world, with over 12,000 New Zealanders currently living with it. These numbers are expected to rise significantly in the coming years.

This is a cause close to my heart, as my father was diagnosed with Parkinson's 3 1/2 years ago. It has been a challenging journey for him and our family, but it has inspired me to take action.

This year, Parkinson’s New Zealand is celebrating 40 years of supporting people with Parkinson’s, their whānau, carers, and health professionals. As the only national charitable trust providing information, education, and support, they are a lifeline for many facing this condition.

I have been running, every day for the past 265 days, and for the next 100 days of my streak, I am dedicating my running to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s NZ.

You can make a difference by supporting Parkinson’s NZ, helping to provide vital resources, education, and support for people living with Parkinson’s and their families.

Thank you for your support—it means the world to me. Together, we can make a meaningful impact!
