Parkinson’s and You
Information about Parkinson’s and how it affects your life.
- What is Parkinson’s?
  Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that affects people from all walks of life. It is quite common, many people are affected and if you have recently been diagnosed you are not alone, Fight Parkinson’s is here to support you.
- Symptoms
  Although classified as a movement disorder, it can affect people in different ways. Sometimes the emotional changes can be more troublesome than the motor changes, and can have a bigger impact on the day-to-day life of someone living with Parkinson’s.
- Treatments & Professional Support
  It is important for people living with Parkinson’s to be proactive in the management of their condition. However, they do not have to face this challenge alone.
- Living with Parkinson’s
  One of the key things to remember is that most people with Parkinson’s disease continue to live long and rewarding lives.

All welcome to join the Mildura Slow Walk

Mar. 09, 2022

One of Victoria’s most enduring Parkinson’s fundraising walks, the Mildura Slow Walk for Parkinson’s, is back, with everyone welcome to join the celebration on Sunday 10 April.

In its 11th year, the meeting point is Henderson Park, from where participants will walk 2km to Jaycee Park.

Registration opens at 9.30am on the day with a $5 registration fee. Limber up with the Kinetic Exercise Physiology warm-up five minutes prior to the 10am start and enjoy a post-walk sausage sizzle thanks to Merbein Lions Club.

The Mildura Slow Walk participants traditionally wear red, so dig out a red top, jacket, hat or scarf to wear on the day.

The last Mildura Slow Walk was held on Sunday 25 August 2019, when around 200 people joined the milestone 10th annual walk.

Mildura Parkinson’s PSG leader Cheryl Barnes, who organises the walk with a dedicated team, said she was looking forward to coming together as a community again.
