Shake

Shake It Up Australia Foundation has a clear mission: to find a cure for Parkinson's disease. The Foundation is dedicated to funding cutting edge research in Australia which will lead to improved treatments for Parkinson's on the path to a cure. 100% of all donations are invested in Australian based research. This is made possible by the founding directors covering all administration costs ensuring every single dollar goes to Parkinson's research. Shake It Up is partnered with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) with most projects funded on a 50/50 basis between the two organisations - effectively doubling the reach of the funds we raise. The team at MJFF also assess and project manage the Australian research projects which gives Shake It Up confidence that they are internationally competitive strategic and non-redundant. To date, Shake It Up has co-funded over $6million to Parkinson's projects at ten Australian research institutes. shakeitup.org.au
