Thank you for visiting my page!

To raise awareness and funds for our ground-breaking Parkinson’s disease research at the University of Sheffield, I am challenging myself with memorising 30 flashcards every day for the 30 days in June! (That's 30 x 30 = 900 flashcards - whoops...)

You may know that I've recently completed a Mandarin Chinese beginner's course, so the flashcards will be characters, words, phrases I've learned - or should've learned - over the course of it, as well as some extra ones I've looked up. It'll be a mixture of reviews and studying from scratch.

Please support me, and more importantly our clinicians and scientists, in finding a way to slow or even halt the progression of Parkinson's for patients.

Parkinson’s disease research at the University of Sheffield

“If the disease could be delayed in its progression, it would give me more time to do the things I hoped I’d be doing at this stage in my life.”

Andrew Myers, Parkinson's patient and Sheffield graduate

Muscle stiffness, tremor, slow movement, troublesome non-motor problems: They have a huge impact on patients' lives. Yet for over 50 years, one-size-fits-all treatments have simply masked the symptoms of Parkinson's. Currently, there’s no cure and no way to stop it from getting any worse.

With your help, the University of Sheffield are working to change that. By tackling the root causes of the disease and developing personalised treatments, the University is finding a new way forward for patients. We've already made a promising breakthrough, identifying compounds that have the potential to slow its progression.

Your support will accelerate our ground-breaking work and benefit patients more quickly.

Please donate today - together we can fight this devastating disease.

Thank you for your support
