Clyde was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at the age of 44 but he decided not to sit back and wait for the rest of the world to find a cure for Parkinson’s but to join the action. In 2011 he launched Shake It Up Australia Foundation with one mission – to increase awareness and funding in Australia targeted at finding better treatments and ultimately a cure for Parkinson’s. Clyde not only volunteers his time to the foundation but also funds all the administration and overhead costs of the foundation.
