The Park Business Centre is ecstatic to have raised over $2,400 for MND! 

Thank you to everyone who supported our team. We had such a blast taking part in the Walk to D’Feet MND on the 1st of May, a 5.5km walk to raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease.  The event itself raised over $92,000! 

Penelope, Julie, Tess, Stacey, Leah, Dani along with partners and families completed the 5.5km walk together to honour family members lost and those still suffering from this cruel disease.
