20.01.2022 430 followers.. thankyou to everyone who is following this page/blog. I will post relevant Parkinson's information and also tracked my park run progress..I am planning for the run/walk Australian Outback Marathon in .july 2021. The next 6 months will be a challenge to prepare for the marathon. If you would like any specific Parkinson's information, please contact me for a chat. #parkinsonsdisease
20.01.2022 Well, it has been a tough few months, and 2020 is one year that I am sure most would like to bury forever. I have put on a few extra k's and have struggled to get up in the morning. My mornings are bad, afternoons are bad/ok, and evenings are ok/good. I am soooolooking forward to Parkrun, as the Parky Park Runner has missed so much the exercise, the social side, the positive feelings that Parkrun provides. There will be no High Fives but there will be shouting to encourage us all as we run/walk the course, In 2021 Robyn Duffield and I will be running between Kirra parkrun and Kingscliff Parkrun. Looking forward to catching up with everyone and running with Kitty Flower Today Saturday 21 November, The Parky Park Runner is presenting online at "The Parkinsons Australia Symposium" about Parkrun and the benefits to people with Parkinson's.

We did our run and as always glad we did even if I’m a bit harsh getting him out of bed , just doing my job #keepmoving #exerciseismedicine

World Brain Day 2020 - Join the World Federation of Neurology and the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society on July 22, 2020, as we share vital information about the onset, treatment and prevalence of Parkinson's Disease, and stand beside both those living with the disease and their caregivers. Parkinson's Disease... is a neurodegenerative brain disease that affects more than 7 million people of all ages worldwide. Parkinson's can impact movement and almost all aspects of brain function, and people with Parkinson's disease may be particularly impacted by the current COVID-19 pandemic. https://wfneurology.org/world-brain-day-2020
02.01.2022 This week has been a better week we were aiming for 4 x 5 k runs but Stephen couldn’t get out of bed yesterday morning Some days are like that with Parkinson’s but he got 3 runs in this week that’s what we’re aiming for . Dr O’Sullivan Stephens neurologist did give me permission to push him but Stephen said in moderation all jokes aside we never regret getting up and doing our run, we are really missing our park runs and still treating Saturday as our parkrun day #exerciseismedicine
