Running for Life

 

On 2 June 2013, Joanne Tremonti will be moving to make a difference for people living with Parkinson’s in what will surely be her biggest fitness challenge ever - the epic ‘Comrades’ 89km run to Pietermaritzburg in South Africa.

 

Joanne’s inspiration? Her dad Gerry, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s last year.

 

Along the way, Joanne is hoping to raise awareness of Parkinson’s and she’s committed to raising $3,000 to help fund our information and support services, to help other people like her dad face the everyday challenge of living with Parkinson’s.

 

Joanne shares some of her story on her online fundraising page:

“Parkinson’s is a chronic, progressive and life-long condition for which at present there is no cure. It has a degenerative effect on the central nervous system which includes shaking and eventually can stop people from moving. Thirty Australians are diagnosed each day with Parkinson’s.

Last year, my Dad, Gerry, was one of them. Most people associate Gerry with his love of fermented hops but each day he used to run (even with a hangover caused by said hops), which is where my love for running came from.
Parkinson’s Victoria is working to reduce the day to day impact of Parkinson’s on individuals, carers and families whilst at the same time helping to find a cure for this condition. You can help too by sponsoring me in Comrades to support the work Parkinson’s Victoria does.

All proceeds from these events help fund the work of Parkinson's Victoria, providing information and support to those living with Parkinson's Disease in our community. Please spread the word to your friends, workmates and social networks.

Create your very own unique fundraising page! And show your support for Parkinson's.

Parkinson's Victoria now has a community Everyday Hero page where you can take on your own personal challenge (eg. fun run) or celebrate an event (eg. milestone birthday) and have people show support by making a donation to Parkinson's Victoria.

Your Everyday Hero page is safe and takes out a lot of the hassle of fundraising, plus you can receive messages of support and watch your fundraising total grow.

'In Memory' pages

Many people choose to make an in-memoriam donation, or to donate money, rather than send flowers to funerals and memorial services. You can now commemorate and celebrate the life of a loved one by creating an “In Memory of…” Tribute Page in their name, and requesting donations to Parkinson's Victoria.

Our “In Memory of…” Tribute Pages give you the opportunity to celebrate, honour and remember the life of a loved one and to share these reflections with friends, family and others.

A personal Tribute Page is also a unique way for people to support a cause close to you and your loved one’s heart - Parkinson’s Victoria - and others who are living with Parkinson’s. In just a few simple steps you can build your personal Tribute Page and then approach friends and family for a donation by emailing around the unique link of your webpage. Each donation is recorded on your page along with any message of support from your donors, and donors receive an electronic receipt immediately.

Visit www.everydayhero.com.au/event/parkinsonsvic_in_memory to create your own Tribute Page today. If you require assistance, please contact our office on (03) 9581-8700
