Cure Parkinsons NZ chief executive Daniel McGowan will speak at the AC Baths on November 19.
It has been 10 years in February that the Taupō Concrete Club – led by Wendy Chrisp, has been "punching, cycling, swimming" against the tide of Parkinson's and Wendy says it feels like yesterday.
“It’s been that much fun watching these brave fighters deal with this mongrel cunning thief that steals movement.
Walking, turning, speaking, going to the toilet, swallowing, smiling and everything else slowly gets taken away with Parkinson's, Wendy says.
"But our roosters are just getting on with living and giving it full throttle when they can."
A “cheeky phone call” to Cure Parkinson's NZ has lead to the CEO agreeing to come to Taupō for the monthly “mob meeting” and Wendy is opening up the opportunity to everyone.
Those interested can meet, grab a cuppa, share some home baking and mix and mingle for 30 minutes before Daniel talks.
