‘Walking together’: Parkinson’s Ireland
Parkinson’s Ireland recently announced the launch of its new flagship fundraiser ‘A Walk in the Park for Parkinson’s’.
Sponsored by Home Instead, the inaugural event took place in various locations across Ireland on Saturday 21 September at 11am.
Speaking on the launch, CEO of Parkinson’s Ireland, Mr Shane O’Brien, said: “We are delighted to launch our new annual fundraising event ‘A Walk in the Park for Parkinson’s’.
We are very grateful to Home Instead for their sponsorship and support of this event.”
“In addition to raising much-needed funds for the services that Parkinson’s Ireland provides, the event will be an opportunity for the Parkinson’s community across Ireland to come together in a show of unity and support.
“We hope that this event will raise awareness of the fact that an estimated 18,000 people
in Ireland have Parkinson’s and that it’s the fastest growing neurological condition.”
