18 months ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's - an incurable, degenerative brain disease.

At that time, it was said that a cure was likely within maybe 5 years (subject to research funding).  Today, it is said that a cure is still maybe 5 years away (again subject to funding).  You don't need to be a genius to realise that the issue is simply one of money.

PD can strike anyone at any time; it is non-discriminatory and its impact on one’s life can be devastating.

I am fortunate in that (thus far) my medication, on the whole, is working well.  However, that is not the case for everyone and please don’t forget that the condition is progressive…

A number of high profile personalities have recently been diagnosed with PD and this is raising awareness but we also need to be raising money.

In doing 'my bit' to raise awareness and to fund raise, I am seeking your help to reduce the time it takes in finding more effective treatments and ultimately a cure for this debilitating disease.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Please give generously.
