I may have Parkinson's but it doesn't have me
"I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in November 2021. Before that, I noticed changes that didn't feel right. A tremor in my left hand, stiffness that affected my typing, pain in my shoulder, and my left leg would seize up when I ran.
I decided early on that Parkinson’s was something I needed to face head on. I wanted to fully understand it, manage it and continue living life to its fullest."
Parkinson's UK became a vital source of information, support and community, helping David make sense of his condition and what lay ahead. In 2023 he took on one of the biggest challenges. Trekking to Everest base camp had been a long held dream, and his Parkinson's gave it a new meaning.
“Standing at base camp with Parkinson's UK banner, I felt overwhelming pride. Parkinson's may be part of my life but it does not define it”
Your support helps fund vital research, providing life-changing resources, and gives people living with Parkinson's the confidence to keep moving forward.
