People who are not familiar with Parkinson’s disease often think of it as a disease that only involves movement. In addition to motor symptoms, such as slowness of movement, tremor, stiffness and balance issues, most people develop other health problems related to PD. These symptoms are diverse and collectively known as non-motor symptoms.

While family and friends may not be able to see these symptoms, it is important to realize that non-movement symptoms are common and can even be more troublesome and disabling than movement symptoms.

There's still a bit of time if you want to donate to these walkers.

We completed the Camino in 36 days, 780ks, on Tuesday the 21st of October, walking 40ks on our final day in the rain and dark to reach the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela at 8:30pm. What an experience! Dad and our aunty walked with us in spirit the entire journey, and so we dedicated our Compostelas to them at the end of the road. There were certainly challenges, I had to go to hospital and take a bus from Burgos to Leon due to infected blisters, but Nick biked that section for the both of us, despite his chin splints. We met many amazing people along the way and developed a strong spiritual connection with The Way of Santiago and the many pilgrims who had walked the path before us. The Camino will always provide and point you in the direction you need to go.

As you know, Nick and I were walking to raise money for Parkinson's NZ in honour of our Dad. Thanks to all those who have donated to this important cause! We've raised $2,740 NZD so far! If you haven't already donated for Parkinson's NZ please donate on the link below. Our fundraiser closes at the end of this month. Help us to reach $5000!!
