Pauline had just completed her individual therapy program with Restoring Hope Parkinson’s Therapy when she approached  Montville Mist Springwater to ask them to donate bottled water for people with Parkinson’s. 

Owners Peter and Alli Collins are passionate about helping people hydrate with chemical free water and immediately jumped at the opportunity.  

Restoring Hope Parkinson’s Therapy (RHPT) is a recently established Not-For-Profit charity delivering speech therapy to people living with Parkinson’s disease. They help improve quality of life through individual and group therapy.

Pauline has Parkinson’s and knows firsthand the benefits of completing the program offered at RHPT.

“Before I started the program I was very quiet in the way I spoke and people had difficulty hearing what I had to say,” she said. “I also had problems with food and would frequently get coughing and choking fits which were embarrassing and frightening. I was self conscious when socialising even with family and friends.

“The program has helped me be confident and more willing to speak clearly and with intent.”
