THE Southern Grampians Parkinson’s Peer Support Group is to be the beneficiary of funds raised at an event hosted by the Hamilton Hamper on Wednesday evening, which featured guest speakers that included Dr David Rendell, who spoke on his personal experiences with the disease.

Dr Rendell was initially diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2007, and with his medical background, albeit in veterinary science, has been ardently researching data and possible causes.
