Various symptoms of PD, but certainly need a neurologist to make the diagnosis

Today is World Parkinson’s Day.

Parkinson’s can affect different people in different ways. Symptoms often start out small. Early diagnosis and starting a treatment plan sooner rather than later can help control symptoms better.

If you think you, a family member or friend may have Parkinson’s, and would like more information, call us on 1800 644 189 during business hours, Monday to Friday.

The turn out was outstanding, with close to a hundred people joining in on the day. The team strolled along the shore as the morning sun rose over the sea.

In total, Dr Raj's team raised an incredible $4367!

Can you help her reach $5000?
