Without research, there can be no cure. We won’t give up until there’s a cure for Parkinson’s disease — treatments that can stop, slow or even reverse the progression of this insidious disease. It is a matter of when, not if, this is reality.
Support comes in many forms, and we welcome all of them. One-off and regular donations can be made directly into the Trust’s account (details below) or using the webform below for credit card payments (please note there is a 2.5% credit card fee).

As a charitable trust, we believe it is important to demonstrate impact — to show that the funds we raise are well spend and really do make a difference in the world. Two short films that we released in early 2026 show the incredible progress being made in the laboratory thanks to the support of our generous donors (click on the name to watch!):

Since Bernie and Kaye Crosby founded our charity in 2013, under the banner Neuro Research Charitable Trust, with a dream to raise “a million bucks for research”, we have committed $3.2M to fund research conducted at the Centre for Brain Research, University of Auckland. This research has contributed (and continues to contribute) greatly to our understanding of the early stages of Parkinson’s disease, with huge potential for earlier diagnosis and potential therapeutics emerging from these findings.
Many people and organisations have made this success possible. We are immensely grateful to all who have contributed to our cause, whether the amount be large or small — collectively, you are making a difference for those suffering from this awful disease. We are especially grateful to our Founders Circle of philanthropists who have committed to providing multi-year funding of six-figure amounts per year, over several years. Research is not cheap, and progress takes time; however, the contributions of these incredibly generous philanthropic supporters have served bring a cure for Parkinson’s disease much closer for all of us.
And of course we are immensely grateful to all of those who have contributed any amount at all towards our cause — you are all making a difference for those suffering from this awful disease.
