WARRNAMBOOL’S Parkinson’s Support Group received a generous donation from the Camperdown Motorcycle Club last weekend.
At the group’s Parkinson’s Awareness Walk on Sunday, group president Andrew Suggett was thrilled to receive a donation of just over $2000 from the motorbike club.
“I had an inkling that the club was going to make a donation but this amount is just amazing,” Mr Suggett said.
“We are extremely grateful for the generosity shown by members of the Camperdown Motorcycle Club and can assure them all the money will be put to good use and is very much appreciated.
“We currently send out about 80-90 newsletters to our members each month to inform them of the latest Parkinson’s news and events so this money will go a long way towards covering those ongoing costs.”
Camperdown Motorcycle Club president Brent Noonan said he was “absolutely stoked” with the amount club members donated.
“One of our members, Ian Scott, has Parkinson’s so this is certainly a cause close to our hearts and we were thrilled to have been able to contribute such a substantial amount of money,” he said.
“I’m very proud of the amount we raised, which was all the result of an event at our clubrooms at Lake Bullen Merri last Friday night.”
About 40 members enjoyed a fun-filled night of games, fancy dress, competitions and raffles, while those who were unable to attend also made generous donations.
