Walk for Parkinsons! That I completed twice what I set out to do which was 8 km per day for 9 days. I did 16km per day - or 154km and 263 Km as well in my 3 week prep. (Total 417km) The team of Vince and Joe Kelly did 270km in 9 days - average 30km a day. I walked alone and on a different route because of covid 19. It was quite an event- all family and others joined in. Together they raised up till last Sunday $53,000 - of which my/our effort contributed $2065. I was very proud of the Downlands Boarders and Staff who contributed $500. Thanks too to the MSC who contributed. It was pretty demanding. They are talking about next year already!!! Cheers, Vince
Apparently walking is the best medicine yet found for Parkinsons. As with the sky-Divers over Stumers, sometimes we have to help each other!
It was a worthwhile event, if tough. You had to have “skin” in it!

PS I was totally proud of the donation of the Boarding House and Staff of $500 to the effort. I saw only one bigger donation- that of a Lions club on the last day of $1000. Three Lions members on left, Joe and Vince and Miguel (President of Parkinsons Qld).
