Shake It Up Australia Foundation Has One Aim: To Find A Cure For Parkinson’s

Are you one of the 80,000 Australians with Parkinson’s disease? Maybe you are one of the half million Australian’s who know someone who is…?  

You probably already know that Parkinson’s has no known cause and no cure. You may not know that 30 Australians are diagnosed every day, or that Australia has some of world’s leading scientists specialising in Parkinson’s who need funding now to find a cure.

That’s why we decided to shake things up a little.

Shake It Up Australia Foundation hit the ground running in 2011 to raise money to fund research in Australia. But we aren’t doing it alone. Our partner, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF), has been advancing promising research projects into Parkinson’s since 2000. With the support of MJFF, we know that every dollar raised in Australia will be directed into a high-impact area of research.
