We sadly lost our lovely Uncle Bob a few years ago ….Parkinson’s significantly affected his final years and I would do anything to help find a cure. As a family we all tried to make light of his symptoms .. which for Uncle Bob included difficulties with swallowing. Uncle Bob was a man who enjoyed a pint and he avoided the use of thickeners for as long as he could, as he did not want to ruin one of life’s great pleasures. Joking apart seeing someone you love struggling with the effects of Parkinson’s is not easy and I would not wish it on anyone..

Jack and I have formed team ‘Bobbing to Brighton’ our charity is Cure Parkinson’s and we are very grateful for any donation that you are able to make.
