Move to Beat Parkinson Virtual Charity Run 2021

Parkinson Society Singapore (PSS)’s annual outreach event is back! “Move to Beat Parkinson” returns in PSS’ inaugural virtual charity run in celebration of our 25th Anniversary!

Join us as an individual or gather your family and friends in groups of 2 to 5 to complete either 25km, 50km, 100km or 250km in support of People with Parkinson in Singapore.

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.

So come encourage PwP to stay active and positive by running, jogging, or walking the distance at your own time, own pace, and remember to use the hashtag #PSS25for25 on social media to show your support for our local Parkinson community.
