Story
I set a goal this year to run and raise funds for two Organisations. The first run was completed in May (MDC) so it is only fitting that I know start looking towards run number two. What makes this whole thing that little bit more interesting is the fact that prior to March this year I had never ran...I was that person who stayed home on the day of the athletics carnival! I have worked my way up from a walker to now being able to proudly call myself a runner (well that's what I like to think!)
I'm taking part in the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival 2014 9km Bridge run and hoping to raise much needed funds for Shake It Up. Shake It Up is close to my heart with my father living with Parkinsons Disease for as long as I can remember.
This September, I’m going to be sweating it out and doing my best to complete a gruelling course over the Harbour Bridge, around Sydney's CBD and finishing at the Opera House steps... I will also have the support of family and friends who have agreed to run with me!
I am honoured to be a part of this amazing race and helping a great cause, and I’d really appreciate your support in this endeavour. Please share this page with anyone who you think may be interested and feel free to sign up and come along on the day!
Thank you for your support and helping to make a difference!

Shake It Up Australia Foundation
Shake It Up Australia has a clear mission: To find the cure for Parkinson’s
There are an estimated 100,000 Australians living with Parkinson’s with another 38 diagnosed every day. 20% of those diagnosed are under 50 years old. With your help, we can change this!
Shake It Up has partnered with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to fund the world’s best research in Australia targeted at finding better treatments and ultimately a cure.
100% OF YOUR DONATION GOES DIRECTLY TO RESEARCH. THAT’S RIGHT 100%! Our founding directors cover all general expenses of the Foundation ensuring every cent of your donation makes a real difference in the quest to find a cure for Parkinson’s.
About Shake It Up
Shake It Up Australia Foundation together with our partner at The Michael J. Fox Foundation are the largest non-government funder of Parkinson's research across multiple institutes in Australia. Founded in 2011 we have funded over $11.5M in research targeted at finding better treatments and ultimately the cure.
The Foundation was established by Clyde Campbell, a father of three and business owner who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2009 at the age of 44.
Clyde set out to find out as much as he could about the disease and determine what he could do in a practical sense to assist. His search led him to the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF) in the United States and the remarkable work they do to fund medical research targeted at finding better treatments on the path to a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
The approach MJFF takes to assessing, funding and project managing the world’s best research all over the globe eliminates redundancy, ensures efficiency and unites the global community in the quest to find a cure.
Clyde realised that funding Parkinson’s research was the best thing that he could do to help himself, his family and the 100,000 other Australians living with the disease. With that clear in his mind, Clyde founded Shake It Up Australia Foundation (SIUAF) to give other Australians the opportunity to join his quest.
