Anyone can get Parkinson’s. It gets worse over time and there’s no cure. Yet. Funding research into the most promising treatments, we’re getting closer to a cure. Until then, we're improving life for people with Parkinson’s, and the people in their lives. Together we'll find a cure.

Story

If you’re able to, please donate whatever you can - every contribution helps support people living with Parkinson’s.

My brother in law Tony Pockley has Parkinson's which is a serious brain condition that can slow movement, cause tremors, and affect speech. But science is racing ahead. Recent breakthroughs include:

• New gene discoveries opening doors to personalised treatments

• Smartphone apps and wearable tech that track symptoms 24/7, helping doctors tailor care

• Cutting-edge therapies being tested that could protect or even replace damaged brain cells

• Clinical trials exploring treatments that target the disease's root causes, not just symptoms

Every study brings us closer to turning Parkinson's from a life sentence into a manageable condition. The next breakthrough could come from research funded by the money this video raises.
