Our hero this week is Caroline who has multiple family members living with Parkinson’s. Whilst she loves to push herself physically, taking part in the Sunshine Coast Half Marathon was a great excuse to make a difference and raise awareness and funds for a cure.
Parkinson’s is a part of my family, multiple loved ones are living with the disease. I see the daily struggle, by only for them, but for other family members and it’s up to me, to us, to do anything and everything we can to raise awareness and funds to help find that cure.
Shake it up Australia uses 100% of donations to fund research, and that’s awesome. We need as much of that money raised to get to where it really matters. I feel like Shake it up has a voice and if I can help make it louder, even better.
Pushing myself physically, the Sunshine Coast half marathon was a great excuse to get out for a run and raise some money at the same time!
Finishing the run and knowing that I’ve helped fundraise for a wonderful foundation. 2 massive positives for me.
Just get out there and give it a red hot crack. It’s worth it.
