Parkinson's Marathon Walk 2025

We're fundraising for...

Hey everyone,

I’m beyond excited to share that I’ll be taking part in the Parkinson's Marathon Walk on Sunday 27th July to support Parkinson's NSW and the Dean Team in its mission to enhance the quality of life for those living with Parkinson’s. But that’s just the beginning of this journey!

After this event, I’ll be jetting off to compete in the Berlin Marathon — part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors — and I’ll be proudly flying the flag for Parkinson's NSW and The Dean Team. This cause is something I have been wanting to reconnect and truly give back as I want to dedicate every step I run to help raise awareness and support for those facing the challenges of Parkinson’s every day.

I’d love your support in two ways:

💙 Sponsor me: Help Parkinson's NSW continue providing vital services and support for people living with Parkinson's. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference.

💙 Spread the word: Share this page and help us reach more people who want to make an impact.

If you’re coming to the Parkinson’s Marathon Walk, come and say hello! I’d love to chat more about all things running, training and getting started - it’s never too late to take that first step.

I am truly thankful for all the support and kudos I have received so far! Every bit helps, and together we can make a real difference.

Let’s run, walk, and leave Parkinson's behind!

Marlou

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 and Marlou at ARC Neuro Rehab. Dean`s personal story and unwavering journey through Parkinson's deeply inspired me, offering a guiding light during my own toughest days of recovery as did Marlou`s dedication and expertise, 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 raising 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!
