I'm Pitching in 4 Parkinson's

By David Novakovic

Help me Pitch in for Parkinson's NSW

Hi everyone,

This year I am challenging myself to finish what I started last year all while doing it for a very good cause that is close to me.

Last year, I set out to complete the Wollongong Olympic distance triathlon. For those that don’t know, the Olympic distance triathlon consists of the following stages:

1.        1.5km open water swim, followed by a,

2.        40km bike ride, and then finally a,

3.        10km run.

Sadly, my goal of achieving this in 2024 was taken away from me quickly when I had a very scary motorcycle accident which I am still recovering from to this day.

But, the year is 2025 and while I am far from being completely healed of my injuries, I want to challenge myself to finish the triathlon this year.

While this will be a very big challenge for myself, to motivate me just that little bit more, I have decided to do this to raise money in support of Parkinson’s research.

All funds raised from me running the triathlon will be donated directly to Parkinson’s NSW to help in their organisation’s mission of enhancing the quality of life for all people living with Parkinson’s.

The reason this cause is close to me is because my father-in-law was diagnosed and has been living with Parkinson’s for the past 15 years. He is incredibly brave and volunteers himself for any experimental treatments that are made available for testing all in the pursuit of finding a cure.

If you could please sponsor me and help me achieve my goal of raising $1,000, you donation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your support and donation.
