Brilliant spring weather greeted the Kiama Parkinson’s Support Group for its Walk in the Park fundraiser on 28 November at Black Beach near the centre of the township.

It was a great success. Many people with Parkinson’s were joined by dozens of relatives and friends. Participants ranged from babies to people in their late 70’s.

Local physiotherapist Matt Cook conducted a warm-up session before the walk began.

Kiama Rotary Club ran a sausage and drink stall which was well supported by the walkers and sightseers.

A total of $3,220 in funds raised from the Walk and a raffle are going towards supporting people from the local area with Parkinson’s.

More than $7,500 in sponsorship contributions from the Walk have been graciously donated to Parkinson’s NSW to support its work for the Parkinson’s community.
