Group offers Parkinson’s support

TOBY Osborn from Parkinson’s Victoria spoke with local residents, Lynette DeBono, Sue Nelson, Ginetta Bianchin and Margaret Seuren. Parkinson’s Victoria presented a Support Group meeting for people who live with Parkinson’s in the Pakenham area. Mr Osborn spoke at Meadowvale Retirement Village on Wednesday 16 April.
The Pakenham Parkinson’s Support Group offered members a chance to meet and talk with others who shared in similar experiences, situations and challenges.
The group is a source of information and support for people who live with Parkinson, as well as their carers, family and friends.
Parkinson’s Victoria was excited to introduce Toby to the area and encouraged residents to take advantage of the opportunity.
