Help the University of Dundee solve the Parkinson's puzzle

Story

I am one of the Parkinson's researchers at the University of Dundee. I am also a clinician and see people living with PD in my clinic. 

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the fastest growing neurodegenerative condition and while we can treat symptoms there is no cure. Every single week 30 people are being diagnosed with PD in Scotland. 

We need to expedite research into PD to gain a better understanding of its causes on a molecular level and leverage this new knowledge for finding new treatment strategies and ideally a cure!

Together with Marc, Janet, Brendan, David, Rob and Sheriar, I am cycling at least 30 km every 3 days for 30 days in June! Please support our efforts! Many thanks!
