Support me as I stay active for 27 days to support those living with Parkinson's!

I'm taking part in the 27ForParkinson's Challenge to help raise funds for people living with Parkinson's - a progressive neurological condition that affects people from all walks of life.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2017 and further diagnosed with an A-Typical Parkinson's condition called MSA in early 2021.

Despite this terrible blow that I have been dealt, I'm hoping to give this year's 27for Parkinson's my very best shot, in order to assist  people living with Parkinson's.

Will you help me make a difference? Every dollar raised has a lasting impact, so please make a donation to support my challenge.

Day27 I made it through😘

Thursday 27th Oct
Although fund raising will be open until late in November, today was the official final day of the 27 for Parkinson's activities.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my wonderful supporters once again for their generous donations and extremely kind words.   The love shown to me over the 27 days, has been a terrific motivator and I'm proud to announce that with all your help, I  have raised over $6,700 to help Fight Parkinson's. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.  Pauline  xx.

Day26

Wednesday 26th Oct
Today was full of many activities, however the main one was a session with Liam, my personal physiologist. He had me doing all sorts of movements including dunking a basketball and practicing my rusty water skiing position !!!

Day25

Tuesday 25th Oct
I felt quite unwell this morning, but the late afternoon sun tempted me and we went to the beach for a walk and then wrecked all the good work by having our  first refreshments at the beach for this season.

Day 24

Tuesday 25th Oct
I spent a good deal of today with my daughter and grand daughter at her place of work, admiring and attending to some horses. Today reminded me of the days when we owned 6 horses on our small farm in the Dandenongs.

Day 23

Sunday 23rd Oct
Today was very busy, but I managed to sneak a walk in with friend Joan French on the boardwalk at Martha Cove.  I love this boardwalk and I have fond memories😍 😍 of walking many kms around this area before I fell ill with Parkinson's and then MSA 😥😥

Day 22

Saturday 22nd Oct
Today I walked the streets and Parks of Safety Beach with my son Brett and his fiancee Andrea.  Despite the forecast of heavy rain, it was a beautiful spring day ⛅⛅🌝🌝

Day21

Saturday 22nd Oct
I found myself in Mitcham again today and enjoyed another walk with my daughter in law Sarah and my
grand children Sophie and Jacob.  It was good having some of my enthusiastic supporters with me. 🥰

Day 20

Thursday 20th Oct
Today was a full on  active session of Rock Steady Boxing for Parkinson's.

I came home feeling totally spent🥵🥵🥵, but I just love the company of these wonderful people - (all staff and other folk from the Parkinson's community).

Day 19

Wednesday 19th Oct
Back in Safety Beach today and I had a long and enjoyable walk with friend Annette Field.   We walked from the Sailing Club at Martha's Cove to the end of the Dromana Pier and return. I'm feeling very tired now but so happy to have achieved this walk on this  special occasion of overtaking my fund raising goal of $6,000.   So thank you all my incredible supporters.  You are all fantastic 😘😘😘

Day 18

Wednesday 19th Oct
Today I had interesting and friendly company as I set off for more walking around the Ski Club grounds

Day 17

Wednesday 19th Oct
Today I walked around the Eildon Ski Club grounds.  It was a very cold morning, so I needed to rug up.

Day 16

Sunday 16th Oct
Today we drove to Lake Eildon and walked along the dam wall over the spill way...it was amazing to see so much water in the lake and also so much flooding down the chute. 
We are here for a couple of days so I'll do some activities in this area.

Day15

Saturday 15th Oct
After a full day with family and Friends, Alan and I finished the day with a nice stroll along the board walk at Martha Cove

Day14

Friday 14th Oct
I had a wonderful day with 2 of my 6 grandchildren, Sophie and Jacob.  We walked the back streets of Mitcham and spent the whole day playing, talking and just soaking up the pure love which they hold in abundance.

Day13

Thursday 13th Oct
This morning I had another session at Fit Life boxing club doing the Rock Steady Boxing work out.
I had a wonderful helper named Mary who was just so patient, courteous  and attentive.
I can't speak highly enough of the folk at this club.  Cheers to you all.

Day 12

Wednesday 12th Oct
Today I went to a private physiology class at Pinnacle Physiotherapy, in Dromana.
I got a lot positives out of the lesson, but even so,  coach Liam has given me lots of homework. !!

Day 11

Tuesday 11th Oct
With wonderful weather today at Safety Beach, I walked with my good friend Jan Silk near the Sailing Club. Being mid week and with few walkers out so early, we enjoyed the quiet beauty of the bay. 

Day 10

Monday 10th Oct
Today was wonderful.  I visited Moonlit Sanctuary with my daughter Amelia, her 2 young ones and Alan. The animals were all looking good, they were friendly, the sun was shining  and the sanctuary was clean and tidy.
It was wonderful watching the children interact with all the different animals.  (They found out just how tough an Emu's beak is) !!, and  I just loved watching the koalas.
 

Day 9

Sunday 9th Oct
Very tired today so just did a Parkinson's exercise class on line in the lounge room.  I was disappointed with myself but sometimes you have to just listen to your body !!

The class was hard enough for me today so I'm hoping tomorrows anticipated sunshine will motivate me to get more active.

Day 8

Saturday 8th Oct
A beautiful day to walk along the beach path and by the boat sheds

Day 7

Saturday 8th Oct
Blustery days are still with us,  but we could not miss an opportunity to walk through the park together

Day 6

Thursday 6th Oct
Today I resumed my weekly Rock Steady Boxing class (at Fitlife Boxing club, Ferntree Gully) and after a terribly slow start and with the perseverance of the team there and my husband Alan I got going and came out much livelier than I when I entered.

Day 5

Wednesday 5th Oct
Today's weather was simply horrible, so I did my activity on the exercise bike in the lounge room (with heater on)

Day 4

Tuesday 4th Oct
Today, I walked with my husband Alan around the Port of Sale.  We were very impressed by the beautiful lawns, the wharf, the boats, the bird life and the overall serenity of the place - a perfect spot for today's activity

Day 3

Monday 3rd Oct
Apart from my normal stroll around the Narooma Inlet today,  I took a walk along the clifftop of Mystery Bay

Day 2

Sunday 2nd Oct
My day was filled with several activities, which included a walk on another stretch of the inlet at Narooma, a ride on a tricycle and a trip to a native animal rescue center where I held a 16 week old eastern grey male joey.

Day 1

Saturday 1st Oct
After a short work along the water front at Narooma, Pauline decided to try her luck at fishing.
