Congratulations to David and his team for walking over 42kms in 10 hours to raise awareness and over $6700 for Parkinson's research. David is an inspiration to the team at Walking Tall Health, demonstrating what people living with Parkinson's can achieve with passion and determination.

The new Walking Tall Health "marathon" bands helped David walk with confidence on this journey. It was world first for our device, and it worked flawlessly.

Walking Tall Health's vision is to help 10 million people with Parkinson's walk with confidence. If you are inspired to join us make this a reality, we are now accepting expressions of interest for seed funding. Please reach out for more information.
