Met Mike @Bowers Park @parkrunUK today. Aged 78 - great finish time and story - he ran 23 consecutive GNR. He gave me a cheque for @ParkinsonsUK in memory of his brother in law. Lovely when your worlds collide

So proud of @ParkinsonsUK research - from #causetocure so vital to truly be able to target drugs in trials appropriately. Our outstanding Director of Research talks about the brain bank supplying vital human tissues to many researchers to unlock the answer of WHY?
The Parkinson’s UK Brain Bank collects tissue from people with and without Parkinson’s who pledge to donate for research. Professor David Dexter, our Director of Research, is here to tell you more 👇

As the CEO of @ParkinsonsUK I wanted to say thank you to @thebodycoach for sharing this. There is no cure for this condition but being active at any age can slow progression and help with other symptoms but it’s important it’s fun! So thank you again
