Our Shake It Up Heroes play a crucial role in supporting the Foundation’s mission to accelerate innovative Parkinson’s research. When you fundraise for Shake It Up, you join a passionate group of supporters across the country, who are all driven by the desire to see a world without Parkinson’s.
Fundraising for Shake It Up is unique. 100% of every dollar you raise goes directly to Australia’s best and brightest scientists working hard to slow, stop and cure Parkinson’s disease. This is thanks to our founding directors’ commitment to cover all the Foundation’s costs, and means that your efforts = maximum impact for people living with Parkinson’s.

“For me, supporting Shake It Up isn’t just about raising money. It’s about fighting for my dad. It’s about hope, progress, and love — and doing my small part to help create the change we all desperately need.”
“Do it with all your passion, and most of all be enthusiastic… people will gravitate to it and the support you’ll receive is just incredible. You’ll surprise yourself, the self–satisfaction of making that little bit of a difference is super rewarding!”
“My advice for anyone else looking to make a difference is to just jump in and give it a crack! You will find people to be very encouraging, supporting and generous. Every little bit helps, and we need to work together to find a cure!”
“I chose Shake It Up Australia because one day I’d love to live in a world without Parkinson’s. This isn’t possible without research, and I know that’s what they’re all about. I’m incredibly proud to be a fundraiser.”
“This fundraiser was a way for me to give back and raise awareness for the many families going through the same thing. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps fund research and brings us closer to a future without Parkinson’s.”
“I chose to fundraise for Shake It Up due to 100% of proceeds going towards research into Parkinson’s disease. Just go for it! Every bit of awareness and fundraising helps. As an individual it feels hard to make an impact, but together, we can.”
