Move To Beat Parkinson Virtual Charity Run 2022

PSS is back with its annual outreach event! “Move To Beat Parkinson” returns with its 2nd edition of the Virtual Charity Run 2022

So, sign up as an individual or gather your friends and family in groups of 2 to 5 to complete the run or cycle in support of People with Parkinson (PwP) in Singapore.

For many of us, the ability to run, jog, walk and cycle can easily be taken for granted whilst People with Parkinson use a lot more effort to do the same. Adopting an active lifestyle and having regular exercise have shown to slow down the progression of Parkinson and help PwP maintain their balance, mobility, and ability to perform daily activities. So come encourage PwP to stay active and positive! Run, jog, walk, or cycle the distance at your own time, own pace, and remember to hashtag #PSSStayActive on your social media to show your support for our local Parkinson community!

Cheer Them On!

Many of us easily take the blessing of being able to run, jog, walk and cycle for granted, whilst People with Parkinson (PwP) need to make a lot of effort to run, jog, walk and cycle.

The second most common neurodegenerative disorder in Singapore, Parkinson is long-term and causes difficulties in initiation, co-ordination and control of movements such as standing up and walking. Imbalance and falls are also common and may lead to injuries. As movement becomes difficult, PwP are therefore prone to become inactive, resulting in declining strength, joint flexibility and fitness levels.

There is currently no cure for Parkinson, but staying active and regular exercise on top of medication, healthy diets, staying hydrated and getting adequate sleep are ways People with Parkinson can improve their health and well-being, preserve physical function, ease symptoms and enhance quality of life. Join us in cheering PwP on as they face their daily challenges on their Parkinson journey. Your generous donations will help us continue providing physiotherapy classes as well as other exercise classes such as adapted kickboxing, Tai Chi, yoga, and many more socio-recreational activities to better serve the local Parkinson community.
