Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
A large group of us are taking part in the 2015 Nottingham Spooky Sprint for Parkinson's UK as my husband Robert was diagnosed in May 2015, at the age of 35.
When someone who is 21-40 years old receives a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, it is referred to as Young Onset Parkinson's disease, or Early Onset Parkinson’s. Although most symptoms are the same at whatever age PD develops, managing the disease can be particularly challenging for a younger person and the person's family medically, psychologically and socially.
