Great start to 2025!

48 members attended ParKanDo’s first meeting for 2025. Janene Strahan’s presentation on ‘Driving and Parkinson’s’ was excellent and a lovely morning tea was had by all.

The March meeting on a Saturday 29 March at 10:30am, will be a coffee and chat. It’s a wonderful opportunity to chat with other that truly understand the impact of Parkinson’s. Download the schedule for meeting dates, times and locations for 2025.

A word from our members…

Through ParKanDo I have met some lovely people. I don’t feel so alone especially during Covid 19 and appreciate the fact that I’m not the only one with Parkinson’s.

The people in the group are friendly, non-judgemental and welcoming. Joining this group has been a very positive experience for me and the highlight of 2020!

I found ParKanDo to be an incredible source of support and strength and continue to participate via Zoom in meetings and dance classes.
