Footscape

Our friends at Ultimate Podiatrist have an upcoming fundraising webinar for medical research into Parkinson's and Dementia on Thursday.

🔶🔶 Next Live Webinar

This live webinar brings together neuroscience, exercise physiology and podiatry to look at neurodegenerative disease from three different but connected perspectives.

You’ll hear from neuroscientist Dr Brandon Meyerink from the Van Andel Institute about what current research tells us about Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Max Martin, Accredited Exercise Physiologist, will then look at the functional changes associated with Parkinson’s disease and the role of exercise in maintaining movement, function and independence.

This presentation is generously sponsored by Tarkine Footwear, an Australian owned running shoe brand that supports the protection of wilderness. In addition to donating funds to the Van Andel Institute, Tarkine will be giving away a pair of shoes during the webinar.

Open to all! Free for members, or make a donation to attend if you are not a member. Net proceeds donated to the Van Andel Institute, which pursues breakthroughs in cancer, neurodegeneration, metabolic disorders and more through an intense focus on the foundations of health and the origins of disease. This purchase allows you to attend the live online webinar, plus access to the recording for three months. You will receive a certificate of attendance for your CPD records.

Thank you Jayden for your wonderful efforts raising $83 for Footscape. Jayden writes, 'I would like to donate all my money made from a fundraising challenge we did at school to this charity. This is because my mum's been suffering with foot drop for over a decade since before my birth.'
