Join the 27forParkinson's challenge
Improve your health and well-being this October
27forParkinson’s will take place from 1-27 October 2023 and this year we are challenging you to live a full and active life.
Join Dr Andrew Harkin as he guides you through a 27-day physical and mental well-being challenge. Each day you will be sent different challenges to choose from, so no matter your ability, 27forParkinson’s has a daily activity for you.
However, if you prefer to do your own challenge – you can. You might go for a walk, do some gardening, ride a bike or bake a healthy recipe, the choice is yours.

Impact of Support
The Parkinson's community needs your support now more than ever.
- The first quarter of 2023 saw a 50% increase in calls to our support line
- February and March were record months for call volume
- Call times have more than doubled in the last two years
More and more people are reaching out for help, seeking information and support for their Parkinson’s diagnosis.
Unfortunately, our current Government funding is no-where near enough to support the ongoing demand for our core services.
By taking part in 27forParkinson's you help to ensure that every person affected by Parkinson’s has FREE access to the most advanced health information, support and education.
It is through your generosity that we can make a real difference in improving lives and fight Parkinson’s.
Fundraising Rewards
Get decked out this year in our latest merchandise just by fundraising. Everyone who raises $27 will receive a new 27forParkinson’s t-shirt.
Raise $500 and receive a Fight Parkinson’s cap and drink bottle.
Sign up today and get fundraising to receive these great rewards.

I’m doing this for my dad and his 2 sisters who all had Parkinson’s. For my dad as things got worse he never let it get him down. He laughed with us and mostly at us. He showed us what it means to never give up to always keep going to fight til the very end. He is my guardian angel and the calm I’m my head when I need him. He was and is my hero. Miss you forever. This is for you Papa and my Zia’s and all those who we have lost and are fighting this disease.
