In memory of Richard Wade

By Libby Steel

Thank you for visiting.

We are collecting donations to support the work of Parkinson's NSW in memory of Richard Wade, a husband, father, brother, uncle and dear friend who endured Parkinson's Disease for over 15 years.

Our hope is that one day a cure will be found, so no other person and their family have to experience the debilitating effects or lose a loved one to Parkinson's disease.


While we wait, Parkinson's NSW are striving to make life better for people living with Parkinson’s, their families and carers. They provide essential services and programs including:

  • Counselling services
  • Network of Support Groups across the state
  • Information Line (InfoLine) service staffed by Registered Parkinson’s Nurses and specialist health professionals
  • Parkinson’s Nurse specialists placed in rural & regional areas of NSW
  • Education and information programs


Your donation to Parkinson's NSW is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for your support
