Walkers in the Park do their bit to fight Parkinson’s

Brilliant spring weather greeted the Kiama Parkinson's Support Group for the Walk In The Park last Sunday at Black Beach.


It was a great success with many people with Parkinson's joined by dozens of relatives and friends on the walk from the northern end rock pool to the boat ramp on the harbour before returning to their starting point.


Local physiotherapist Matt Cook conducted a warm-up session before the walk began.



It was great to see the age range from babies to folk in their late 70s participating on what turned out to be a beautiful day.


Kiama Rotary Club ran a sausage and drink stall which was well supported by the walkers and sightseers on a gorgeous Sunday.



A total of $3220 in funds raised from the Walk and a raffle are going to support people from our local area with Parkinson's.


More than $7500 in sponsorship contributions from the Walk will be donated to Parkinson's NSW, which provides wonderful support to people with the disease, as well as their families and carers.
