Mark has been doing a fantastic job of taking a poetical view of the challenges posed by the Covid Lockdown and sharing these on their WhatsApp Group. Now he has turned his attentions to the DRIG, thank you Mark!

I am a 59-year old Irishman married to a wonderful person, Joanna. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about three years ago in Belgium, and intend to retire this autumn, a bit earlier than anticipated, to Fife, where we already have a house and two of our three children go to school.
Last week I met a fascinating group of committed individuals working together to address their future relationship with Parkinson’s Disease (PD): powerful people with Parkinson’s (PwP) raising money, organizing really relevant information meetings for PwP; loving partners of people with Parkinson’s learning more about how to support them; and talented scientists breaking down the barriers to understanding how this disease works.
