Toitū Otago Settlers Museum and St Paul’s Cathedral in Dunedin are illuminated by blue light last night as part of a global Spark the Night campaign to raise awareness of neurodegenerative condition Parkinson’s.
The campaign was inspired by the PD Avengers movement in the United States, a patient-led organisation united in the purpose of ending the disease.
As part of World Parkinson’s Day on April 11, cities around the world lit up their buildings and landmarks in blue in solidarity with the 11.8 million people who have the condition worldwide, including 13,000 New Zealanders.
