Why we are fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Not everyone will know my story but just over a year ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. For at least a year or so before I was showing signs which I was putting down to something else. My friends in work kept on asking me if I was ok, because I was struggling walking, moving, getting up the stairs and even getting out of the car and they thought I didn't look myself. I was just laughing it off and saying it's my joints they need oiling. It came to a point were friends that were a couple of years older than me were more agile than me and it dawned on me that yes there must be something wrong. I'd lost my handwriting and my right arm was shaking. I eventually went to see the doctor and they sent me to a Parkinson specialist at the hospital. He sent me for 2 brain scans which unfortunately confirmed that I had Parkinson's. I am on medication for it which is helping and I have joined 2 exercise classes to help with my movement.I'm hoping any money raised will help with the advancement of further medication to help with this disease. Thanks to everyone for your support.
