Parkinson's Australia is hoping to raise more than $100,000 for the chronic disease at Australia's Unity Walk.
The organisation is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Parkinson's Australia by once again holding the four kilometre Unity Walk around Sydney Olympic Park. This follows the success of the event last year when it was held for the first time in August, 2008.
More than 1,000 people are expected to turn out for the walk.
Proceeds from the walk will go towards research into the disease and to support people with Parkinson's as well as their families and carers.
Parkinson's disease is one of the most common neurological conditions in Australian, second only to dementia.
There are an estimated 80,000 living with Parkinson's in Australia.
