On the 2nd December 2017 my father-in-law Bill Hickman was taken away from us as a result of a chest infection. He had suffered for many years from Parkinson's disease. He was a strong, hardworking man who was at the centre of his devoted family.

The devastation that Parkinson's disease brought upon him was terrible to see with symptoms that include dementia, tremors, inability to swallow, difficulty in physical movement/coordination that were a result of the disease attacking his brain and nervous system.

There is limited funding to help identify a cure, so the sorrow will carry on unless organisations like Parkinson's UK can continue with their research. To help the fight against Parkinson's you can help by contributing a donation to Parkinson's UK who are looking to find a cure while providing support to those who are affected.

All contributions will be welcomed by the charity.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and any donations that you contribute.
