Join the Fight Against Parkinson’s

Sadly, Parkinson’s continues to affect our loved ones. Currently in Australia, around 100,000 people are living with Parkinson’s and 10-20 percent of these people are under the age of 50 with Young Onset Parkinson’s. These are not just numbers; these are the faces of our friends, our family members, our neighbours, and our loved ones. They are fighting a battle every day that they didn't choose, but we can choose to fight with them.

Support life-changing research

Many people with Parkinson’s experience difficulties like trouble sleeping and chronic fatigue, which have a profound impact on their daily lives.

Dr. Joyce Ramos at Flinders University is leading a pioneering study to investigate the potential of light therapy and exercise as alternatives to medication for managing Parkinson’s symptoms.

Dr. Ramos’s pilot study seeks to determine if light therapy and exercise can be effective in managing these challenges. If this initial study shows positive results, it will pave the way for a larger trial, offering hope and a new approach to managing Parkinson’s.

Your support is crucial to advancing Dr Ramos’s research and helping people with Parkinson’s. Will you give a generous gift today?

His project aims to enhance the quality of care provided to Parkinson’s patients and their caregivers, ensuring they receive the support they truly deserve.

You’re not really living if you don’t do new things, or if you curtail things because you’re afraid. I think the infra-red light therapy has helped me so much in that regard. The more we know about Parkinson’s, the more armed we are to manage and fight it.

I don’t want anyone to go through what I did. While I've got quality of life and ability to do so, I’m going to put in as much effort as possible to supporting research to try and help others like me.
