I feel incredibly lucky to have such a strong and positive role model in my life. His support and the values he’s instilled in me are things I’ll be forever grateful for.
He’s my hero simply because he’s brilliant. But what makes him even more extraordinary is how he faces life with Parkinson’s.
It’s been quite a few years since his diagnosis, and there have been many ups and downs along the way. He’s benefited greatly from the incredible research that’s gone into understanding and treating this condition.
Terry Pratchett once referred to his Alzheimer’s diagnosis as the “greatest embuggrance” and that sentiment rings true here! It’s a rubbish disease and one that I would love to see improvements on how it can be managed.
I want the research to continue. I’m inspired by my dad every day, and while I know the advances to come may not change his path, I hope that by supporting this work, I can help make a difference for others in the future
Good luck bud!
