Andrew’s legacy continues
ANDREW Suggett will long be remembered by many across the district for his work with the Warrnambool Parkinson’s Support Group.
His legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of people of all ages, from all walks of life, who had the pleasure of meeting him – or working alongside him in the various community groups he was involved in.
Bestowed a ‘Senior Citizen of the Year’ title in October last year, Mr Suggett played a pivotal role in not only the local Parkinson’s Support Group but also with the Warrnambool Health Support Network.
He was extremely dedicated and passionate about both groups and doing all that he could to help make the lives of those on a Parkinson’s journey just that little bit easier.
He was a man who inspired and encouraged others.
The annual Parkinson’s Awareness Walk will now be named in his honour.
The sixth annual event will be held on Sunday, October 6 – ‘The Andrew Suggett Parkinson’s Awareness Walk.’
“We have renamed this walk in honour of our late coordinator whose many years of service has helped lift awareness of this ever-increasing disease,” coordinator Liz Morse said.
“We invite everyone to join us from 10.30am at the Pavilion near the Breakwater. There will also be a free sausage sizzle, t-shirts and a raffle.”
