How do you follow Will Smith in the snow?
You follow the fresh prints.
My wife is really mad at the fact that I have no sense of direction.
So, I packed up my stuff and right.
I stayed up all night wondering where the sun went?
Then it dawned on me.
The Movers and Shakers are a group of public figures who all have Parkinson’s and are not afraid to say what they think. And they have been saying it in their podcast about Parkinson’s.
They’ve been listening too and have reached the unfortunate conclusion (their words) that the NHS and other public services are failing people with the
condition. They have published a charter, 'The Parky Charter', describing 5 things that people with Parkinson’s need from the government but are not getting.
Parkinson’s UK, Cure Parkinson's and Spotlight YOPD support the principles of the Charter and are partnering with the Movers and Shakers to bring it to the attention of politicians. They have a petition on the Parliament website, and they have just reached 100,000 signatures to trigger a debate in the Commons.
Find out more below and please sign their charter:
Parkinson’s UK have recently changed their communications about the number of people with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s in the UK. Their soon to be published prevalence study shows that the most accurate figure is now 166,000 people, rather than 153,000. Parkinson’s is on the rise. In the UK today, someone is diagnosed every 20 minutes. By 2050, the number of people with Parkinson’s worldwide will double to 25 million.
