Welcome to "A Walk in the Park for Parkinson's"
This event is kindly supported by Home Instead
Join us for ‘A Walk in the Park for Parkinson’s’ to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s Ireland on Saturday, September 21st at 11am. Taking place in various locations across the country, please show your support by attending our fundraiser for what we hope will be a positive and encouraging event.
Parkinson’s Disease is the fastest growing neurological condition, with numbers set to double by 2040. Approximately 18,000 people in Ireland are living with Parkinson’s Disease and we need your help for us to continue to provide support and assistance to those with PD, their care partners, loved ones and health professionals.
Parkinson’s Ireland has a range of national and local services throughout the country. These services include our freephone Parkinson’s nurse helpline, online classes and local in-person exercise classes and support groups.
