Lighting up Aotearoa for people living with Parkinson’s
This World Parkinson’s Day (11 April), we stand alongside the thousands of New Zealanders living with Parkinson’s and their whānau, recognising their daily challenges and journeys.
HealthCare New Zealand is proud to support Spark the Night, a global campaign lighting up landmarks in blue across New Zealand and around the world, showing solidarity with the 11.8 million people living with Parkinson’s worldwide.
Every day, we walk alongside people with Parkinson’s and their whānau, supporting them to stay independent, connected, and live well on their own terms.
Look out for landmarks lit up in blue in your community, snap a photo, and share your support.
Together, we can raise awareness and help people living with Parkinson’s feel more connected and supported.
