It’s simple to get involved – just register for an event in your state, create a fundraising page and ask your friends and family to support you. We will be there to help you every step of the way.
We also guarantee 100% of every dollar you raise is invested into leading Parkinson’s research right here in Australia – our founders cover all the administration costs of the foundation so your fundraising is making a real difference.
