Our recent Waikato Fundraising dinner was a huge success, raising $182,000 for Parkinson’s research leading to a cure. Our guests at the dinner were treated to a poignant message from one of our supporters, David Kidd, a UK-based kiwi living with Parkinson’s, as part of the panel discussion that followed the main course. The video David shared with us was too beautiful and touching not to share with a wider audience. Now, we are pleased to be able to share it more widely with our supporters, including many who were not able to make the fundraiser last month.
David is brilliantly optimistic and takes us on a journey as he bravely shares his personal experience of living with Parkinson’s and the urgency of research leading to a cure.
We are hugely grateful to David and his daughter Susanna who produced the video, which really made the evening special.
NZ news media interviewed our CEO on World Parkinson’s Day as we launched our documentary One in 37 and discussed global collaborations as we work toward a cure.
