Dear Fellow Rotarians
With the technological help of my daughter Celia I seek your support for my current fundraising focus. At 83 years young I am undertaking a new venture to raise money and awareness for Parkinson's, a disease which I suffer from personally and hope to help via awareness and research.
Some of you may remember last year, I participated in the 27 for Parkinson's challenge where I walked for 27 days (while in lockdown) and raised great funds with many of you supporting me. This year, I am proud to have been asked to be an ambassador for Parkinson's Victoria and hope to do my utmost to support the cause.
Gordon Street Little Pantry is a new community initiative based at 252 Gordon St in Footscray, Melbourne, Australia.
It is based on trust and the Footscray community spirit of goodwill. It stocks basic food and sanitary items and is open 24/7 for collection or donation during these extraordinary times.
It is located at 252 Gordon Street Footscray out the front of Footscray Church of Christ.
