Last year a number of Rotary Melbourne members supported Stephen in this worthwhile cause, and enabled him to raise over $6,400 for Parkinson's Victoria. This year, in support of "27 for Parkinson's", Stephen is learning 27 tunes on the bagpipes during October. He promises if you back this fundraising effort you won't be woken at 6 am by the sounds of the pipes as he practices.
