Parkinson’s disease is a progressive, degenerative neurological condition that affects the control of body movements. It is not contagious and not fatal. It is thought to be genetic in a very small percentage of cases. Symptoms result from the progressive degeneration of nerve cells in the middle area of the brain. This causes a deficiency in the availability of dopamine, a chemical messenger necessary for smooth, controlled movements. The symptoms of Parkinson’s appear when about 70 per cent of the dopamine producing cells cease to function normally.

It is estimated that approximately 1-2 people per 1,000 have Parkinson’s, with the incidence increasing to one in 100 over the age of 60. In Australia there are approximately 40,000 people with Parkinson’s, with one in seven people with Parkinson’s being diagnosed before the age of 50 years.

Physical symptoms vary
The type, number, severity and progression of symptoms varies greatly between individuals. No two people are affected in the same way. Some of the main symptoms are:

Tremor (shaking)
Rigidity (muscle stiffness)
Bradykinesia (slowness of movement)
Freezing
Stooped posture
Shuffling gait
Micrographia (small handwriting)
Lethargy.

im in if someone can take me with them
i still have no ride yet but will pay the fee for anyone

Woot! Someting going on in SA! This place has been dead!

I would come but I have no FTO yet (if at all at this rate...) so not a heck of a lot of point. Don't reckon they'd want a crappy VT Commodore on the cruise eh?

Omg - Sounds Great yeah my car wont be 100% by then but.. il do anything for a cruise atm Put me down as a Yes, and il do my best to make sure im not workin then

bahahahah SA has more members without FTO's than it does with

Awesome guys

Glad to see your coming out, should be a nice long cruise to n a good chance to meet each other to for the more newer members to this site. Cant wait, i'll keep yous posted if theres anymore updates on it.

Does anyone have a seat (pref front) left in their FTO and would be happy to take me with them? Would be happy to pay car fee in return

Would love to come and meet some of the fellow SA FTO'ers (for when I finally get one - looking at one this monday, yay!) and it's for a good cause.
