Parkinson’s disease is shit. Trust me, I know. I have been living with it for almost ten years. My symptoms are varied and somewhat unpredictable in both their nature and frequency. They include tremor, dyskinesia, limited movement, slowness (both mentally and physically), constipation, muscle stiffness, staring at things for ages, looking weirdly blank, face not moving to display emotion, anxiety, depression and everyday I'm shuffling. Oh, and it's only going to get worse as it's degenerative. The drugs do work most of the time and I'm able to function on a somewhat limited basis, I still work 4 days a week, but this can be a struggle. There is no cure. This is where you come in. A great friend of mine is going to run his first ever full marathon in London next year and he is doing it for Cure Parkinson’s a charity that attempts to do exactly what it says on the tin. I am very humbled that he is doing this for a charity that could help me and my family, because it's not just me that suffers. So, if you are able then please support Mark (and me) by making a contribution. The target is £5000 but I'm sure we can do better than that!!
