Please consider being part of this important research 🧐

Tasmania has been chosen to play a vital role in a groundbreaking international research project uncovering the genetic clues behind Parkinson’s disease — and your contribution could help change the future of diagnosis and treatment.

Tasmanians, we NEED YOU!

The Tasmanian Parkinson’s Project research team is calling on locals — both those living with Parkinson’s and those without the condition — to volunteer a small blood sample.
Your donation will help scientists build a clearer, more powerful picture of how Parkinson’s develops and why it affects people differently.

Looking forward to hearing your creative insights about Winter! ❄️

The weather outside is dreary,
maybe it's got you a little weary

because to be wet and cold,
can really get old
and some of us hate it quite dearly.

But Winter ain't all so bad,
in fact, some people feel very glad
to be warm and cozy
with socks on their toes-ey
I guess there's some fun to be had?!

Okaaay, now that we have expressed ourselves creatively, we are here to announce our newest socials series... all about Winter. ❄

Over the next few weeks, we will share helpful tips and resources on how to stay positive, socially connected, and healthy throughout the cold months. We promise our tips are better than our poetry!

Stay tuned for more and in the meantime, stay warm ❤️‍🔥
