I have lived with Parkinson’s for the past eight years.

And I am now proud to be part of charity Parkinson’s UK’s new Parkinson’s Is campaign, which aims to shatter public misconceptions about the condition by highlighting the reality of everyday life for those living with it.

Despite Parkinson’s being the second most prevalent neurodegenerative condition after Alzheimer’s, public understanding of the condition and the full impact it has on the lives of those affected, remains low.

Too many people still think that Parkinson’s is “just the shakes,” when in fact it is a serious condition with over 40 symptoms, and we want to change this.

So please take just a minute to visit www.parkinsons.org.uk/parkinsons-is to learn more from people with Parkinson’s about what a diagnosis of Parkinson’s truly means – and how you can help.
