“The best part of the World Parkinson Congress 2016 was meeting others with Parkinson’s from around the world and exchanging tips and tricks for better living with our symptoms.”
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2011. Since then, as well as fundraising and volunteering for several clinical studies and Parkinson’s support groups, I have committed myself to investigating, leveraging and sharing solutions for better living with Parkinson’s.
In order to find and share alternative medical solutions for Parkinson’s I have become a chief blogger for South London Younger Parkinson’s Network, where I regularly blog about my experiences with nutrition, exercise and movement and other therapies which can help minimise the impact of PD symptoms.
Notably, I am an active team member researching a London based program for boxing with Parkinson’s as it’s a great workout both physically and mentally which helps with managing symptoms.
I have also attended the World Parkinson Congress in 2016, and intend to in 2019, where I am the official UK blogger.
