People with Parkinson’s on the Sunshine Coast and it’s surrounds are luck to be able to access brilliant free therapy through the team at newly established local charity, Restoring Hope Parkinson’s Therapy (RHPT).
For the second consecutive year, Queensland Speech Pathologists Louise Williams, Cathy Shapter and Karen Malcolm are excited to be grant recipients of the Parkinson Voice Project annual SPEAK OUT! (R) & LOUD Crowd (R) Grant Program.
Bear-maker of 19 years Lorraine Dippelsmann, who made five bears for the auction, said she wanted to use her ability for good. “I just thought it was a good opportunity to support this new charity and to help the people who suffer with Parkinson’s, because we never know what is around the corner for each one of us,” she said.
