Parkinson’s 2010 Unity Walk – Registrations Now Open !

As the Ambassador for Parkinson’s 2010 Unity Walk, I’m encouraging Australians to walk and help find a cure for Parkinson’s on Sunday August 29th 2010 at 11.00am.

Parkinson’s 2010 Unity Walk, hosted by Parkinson’s Victoria, is the largest fundraising and awareness raising event of its kind in Victoria. It’s a fun way to join friends, family and hundreds of other supporters to make a difference in the lives of people with Parkinson’s.

Parkinson’s is something that has touched me personally; both my Mother and Uncle have Parkinson’s and the Unity Walk is the chance for those close to them to help raise funds, engage in physical activity and create awareness for the support services available. In this photo is my Mum Jill and Step Dad David at last years walk.

Parkinson’s Victoria 2010 Unity Walk
Sunday August 29th, 2010
Federation Square, Melbourne
$25 to participate with registration from 8.30am with the walk commencing at 11.00am – to register visit: www.unitywalk.com.au

On June 17th we were thrilled to raise over $20,000 at the 2010 Mirabel Charity Luncheon. The luncheon also included a preview screening of ‘Polly and Me’, a dramatic short film by award-winning writer and director Ian Darling. The film tells the story of one little girl who has fallen between the cracks and reminds us that just because we don’t see her, it doesn’t mean she isn’t there. The Mirabel Foundation supports children orphaned or abandoned due to parental illicit drug use. With me in this photo are Jane Rowe (Mirabel) and Ian Darling (Director of ‘Polly and Me’).
