Every Dollar You Give: A Catalyst for Hope and Change

Every day in Australia, 38 people are diagnosed with Parkinson's, which means more than one person every hour receives this life-altering news. This condition affects individuals of all ages, with 5 Australians under 40 diagnosed daily. Globally, millions are impacted.


I'm incredibly grateful that my path crossed with Dean's at ARC Neuro Rehab. His personal story and unwavering journey through Parkinson's deeply inspired me, offering a guiding light during my own toughest days of recovery. Now, I'm incredibly proud to be joining forces with The Dean Team, an all-inclusive group of like-minded individuals, all united by a dedication to raising awareness and vital funds for Parkinson's NSW.


Every dollar you contribute is a direct investment in a better future for Australians living with Parkinson's. Your support fuels groundbreaking research, bringing us closer to a cure and more effective treatments. It also provides vital support services that empower individuals to live more fulfilling and independent lives today.


Your generosity isn't just a donation; it's a lifeline. It provides hope, support, and tangible change for those navigating the daily challenges of Parkinson's. 


Thank you for being a catalyst for Hope and Change!
