I’m going to climb a mountain – Fundraiser…or plan B?

Posted on August 22, 2020 by Life living! Parkinsons /Friendships Peru Uncategorized Volunteer opportunitiees WORLD PARKINSON'S CONGRESS 0

Well I had big plans for this fundraiser: I was going to climb a mountain but COVID19 means that after 6 months we’re still on lockdown in Peru. We are only supposed to go out for shopping. So no mountain climbing. So plan B….. but first what am I fundrasing for.

Going to World Parkisnon Congress last year CHANGED MY LIFE!

I have made a short video about it on facebook:

It empowered me to reach out to help the Parkinson’s community in Peru. I’ve started a Parkinson’s association in my city and I’m educating my community about Parkinson’s, drawing on what I learned the World Parkinson’s Congress. I’d like to see others with Parkisnon’s to also be empowered to help their community here in South America and beyond. I’d probably not be doing what I am doing without the inspiring experience of being a part of the World Parkinson’s Congress. 

As you can imagine getting to go to such an international event is expensive, so we are raising funds travel grants to subsidize those in need. The congress is in June 2022 and this time it is unique because it will be in Barcelona in Spain. This is super exciting for Latino’s because it means that it will be translated or presented in Spanish as well as English.  This means it is the perfect opportunity to get Peruvians and other Spanish speakers along and empowered to come back and lead their communities.

My aim is to raise $2,000 before my birthday on the 28th August

Thank-you in advance for your generosity. Every little bit counts.

No mountain climbing so what am I doing? What is plan B?

A 10-day physical challenge. I will be exercising everyday sharing a video daily via facebook. I’m a little behind in posting as I had a problem I’m trying to sort out with facebook. My next blog will explain the glitch but I’ll post the first video today.

Making connections at the WPC2019 in Japan

I am honoured to be chosen as an Ambassador for the World Parkinson’s Congress in June 2022 in Barcelona.

What is a WPC Ambassador you ask?

They are people who have Parkinson’s who are passionate about living well with Parkinson’s and help others do the same. They have attended a congress, I did last year in June in Japan, and they are so excited about the next one and would have booked their tickets already if they could.

“Ambassadors will work as part of our outreach team as we plan for the WPC 2022 in Barcelona, Spain from June 7 – 10, 2022. Whether giving talks at local support groups, writing articles in papers or on blogs, making themselves available to speak about the WPC to communities wanting to learn more about why to attend a World Parkinson Congress, they are invaluable members of the WPC team and we are thrilled to have them on board” WPC website.

It is very exciting and I am looking forward to working with the team of 15 others. I am the only ambassador south of Mexico so I have a lot of ground to cover. The joy of this conference is that it will be in Spanish too so that means that it is important to get the South Americans along while it is in their language.

ESPAÑOL

Me siento honrada de ser elegida embajadora del Congreso Mundial de Parkinson de junio del 2022 en Barcelona.

¿Qué es un/a embajador/a de Congreso Mundial de Parkinson (WPC)?

Son personas con Parkinson apasionadas por vivir bien con Parkinson y ayudar a otros a hacer lo mismo. Han asistido a un congreso, lo hice el año pasado en junio en Japón, y están muy entusiasmados con el próximo y ya habían reservado sus vuelos si pudieran.

“Los embajadores trabajarán como parte de nuestro equipo de promotores y planeamos el WPC 2022 en Barcelona, ​​España, del 7 al 10 de junio de 2022. Ayudaran dando charlas en grupos de apoyo locales, escribiendo artículos en periódicos o blogs, poniéndose a disposición para hablar sobre el WPC a las comunidades que desean aprender más sobre por qué asistir a un Congreso Mundial de Parkinson, son miembros invaluables del equipo de WPC y estamos encantados de tenerlos a bordo” del sitio web de WPC.

Estoy muy emocionada y espero trabajar con el equipo de los 15. Soy el única embajadora al sur de México, así que tengo mucho terreno por recorrer. La alegría de esta conferencia es que también será en español, lo que significa que es importante llevar a los sudamericanos mientras están en su idioma.

 Estoy disponible para hablar en reuniones.  ¿Quien va con conmigo a Barcelona?
