Dear Shake It Up Supporter,

Over the last 12 months we have had more Australian Parkinson's research funding opportunities than ever before with over $1.6M committed to new projects.These advances certainly provide opportunity and hope for the future however they also present a challenge. The challenge is to maintain momentum. We must be positive about what has been achieved but remain focussed on the fact that there is still work to be done. This is why we believe now is a crucial time for us all to do what we can in the quest for a cure.

Sincerely,

Ben, Clyde and the Shake It Up Team.
