Georgy McIntyre is a passionate advocate and ambassador for A Walk in the Park, driven by a deeply personal connection to the cause. Her journey began in 2022 alongside her family—Hyxy, Libby, Lachie, and Annie—when they first participated in A Walk in the Park after being introduced through peer support groups. What started as a small but determined team quickly became a powerful source of connection, as Georgy and her family shared their story and discovered how widely Parkinson’s impacts individuals and communities.
The experience was profoundly emotional and transformative, inspiring Georgy to deepen her involvement. By 2023, she had become an official A Walk in the Park Ambassador, while Hyxy’s Team grew significantly and multiplied its fundraising efforts. Motivated by the momentum, Georgy committed to expanding awareness, strengthening community ties, and encouraging open conversations about Parkinson’s.
Under her leadership and alongside her family, Hyxy’s Team continued to grow, reaching over 30 members and extending its presence across multiple locations in Australia and internationally. Through storytelling, social media, and initiatives like “A Day in the Life of Living with Parkinson’s,” Georgy has helped shine a light on the daily realities of the condition—highlighting not only its challenges, but also the resilience of those affected.
Georgy’s advocacy is grounded in the belief that community, education and open conversation are essential in navigating Parkinson’s. She is passionate about encouraging honest and ongoing dialogue, while supporting Fight Parkinson’s in its mission to provide accessible resources, support networks, and research—ensuring that no one faces the journey alone.
